About this active substance

Mebeverine is a medication used to treat symptoms associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders, particularly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is an antispasmodic that acts on the smooth muscles of the intestine, reducing spasms and alleviating symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and intestinal discomfort.

Mebeverine does not affect normal intestinal motility, making it a safe option for long-term use. It is available in tablet or extended-release capsule form and is usually taken before meals.

Side effects are rare but may include nausea, dizziness, allergic reactions (such as skin rashes), or, in very rare cases, difficulty breathing. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by a doctor and avoid self-medication.
