Indication

4. What is this medicine used for?
This medicine contains Mebeverine hydrochloride which belongs to a group of medicines called antispasmodics. Mebeverine helps to relax the muscles of the gastro-intestinal tract (gut). This medicine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar problems such as chronic irritable colon, spastic constipation, mucous colitis and spastic colitis. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common condition which causes spasm and pain in the gut or intestine. The intestine is a long muscular tube which food passes down so it can be digested. If the intestine goes into spasm and squeezes too tightly, you get pain. The way this medicine works is by relieving the spasm, pain and other symptoms of IBS. The main symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) include

  • Stomach pain and spasm

  • Flatulence (wind) and feeling bloated

  • Persistent diarrhoea or alternating constipation and diarrhoea

  • Small, hard, pellet-like or ribbon-like stools (faeces).

These symptoms may vary from person to person.

Talk to your doctor if these symptoms do not improve after a while, if you develop new symptoms or you are concerned about your symptoms.
