Mebeverine is a type of medicine known as an antispasmodic, which helps to relax certain muscles in the gut. It is used to treat various symptoms of digestive disorders and irritable bowel conditions, such as spastic colitis, spastic constipation, colon inflammation, and mucous colitis. Mebeverine is also used to ease painful stomach cramps if you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other conditions. It works by stopping the muscles in the walls of the intestines and gut from spasming, which helps to relieve the symptoms associated with IBS, including uncomfortable bloating, flatulence, and painful stomach cramps. Mebeverine comes as tablets or slow-release capsules and is available on prescription. It is generally safe and well-tolerated, and side effects are highly unusual and tend to pass quickly when they do develop. The recommended dose for adults is one tablet three times a day, preferably 20 minutes before meals.
