Mebeverine is used for:

• Relief of symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Chronic irritable colon conditions
• Spastic constipation
• Mucous colitis
• Colicky (cramp-like) abdominal pain
• Persistent non-specific diarrhoea

Mebeverine is a musculotropic antispasmodic medicine that helps relieve spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestines. It is especially effective in managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and related conditions. It works by relaxing the intestinal muscles and restoring normal bowel movement.

For adults, elderly and children over 10 years:

• Mebeverine Hydrochloride 135 mg tablet: 1 tablet 03 times daily.
• Mebeverine Hydrochloride 200 mg capsule: 1 capsule 02 times daily.

This is most effective when taken 20 minutes before meals. After several weeks when the desired effect has been obtained, the dosage may be gradually reduced.

Missed dose: If a dose of this medicine is missed, that should be taken as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, then skip the missed dose and the regular dosing schedule should be maintained. Dose should not be doubled at the same time to compensate the missed dose.

Use in children: Mebeverine is not recommended for children under 10 years.
