Fybogel Mebeverine is a drug taken to ease the symptoms of IBS. It contains two active ingredients: ispaghula husk and mebeverine hydrochloride. Ispaghula husk is derived from a plant that is naturally high in fibre. This makes it a laxative and is often used to treat constipation. The second active ingredient is mebeverine hydrochloride, which is a type of antispasmodic. This means it prevents spasms from occurring. Together, they treat the symptoms of IBS.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects your gastrointestinal system. This includes the mouth, stomach, intestines and more. Common symptoms include bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and pain in the lower abdomen. Although IBS is quite prevalent, there’s no cure. For most people, it’s a long-term condition so taking medication such as Fybogel Mebeverine can help relieve some of the symptoms.
As mentioned, IBS is commonly associated with discomfort in the lower abdomen. This occurs as a result of the intestines squeezing or tightening. This is known as a spasm. People with IBS may also have a change in stool consistency (either loose or hard) or an increase or decrease in stool frequency.
Fybogel Mebeverine works by treating both of these problems. Mebeverine hydrochloride relaxes the muscles in the intestines, thereby preventing spasms from occurring. This prevents pain in the lower abdomen. Ispaghula husk traps water in the intestine. This trapped water combines with any stools making them softer and easier to pass. The increased water in the stools can also increase stool frequency in treating constipation. Spasms linked to IBS can also be relieved by defecation, which is why a laxative like ispaghula husk will help.
The combination of active ingredients used in Fybogel Mebeverine works to prevent spasms in the gut and helps maintain constant bowel movements, helping to treat the symptoms of IBS.
