Mebeverine is an antispasmodic treatment for irritable bowel syndrome. It helps relieve discomfort and pain in the abdomen and stomach by reducing the frequency of spasms.
To get Mebeverine, simply answer a few questions online, and we’ll recommend personalised IBS treatments, just for you.
Mebeverine treats symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It’s an antispasmodic, meaning it suppresses bowel spasms, preventing frequent bowel movements. IBS is a condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract. It causes symptoms like cramps, abdominal pain and abnormal bowel movements. There’s no cure for IBS, but treatments work to ease symptoms associated with it.

There are two versions of mebeverine:
1) Mebeverine hydrochloride 135mg film-coated tablets
2) Mebeverine 200mg modified-release capsules
The difference between the two is that the modified-release capsules gradually release the active ingredient throughout a longer period of time, rather than in one go. This allows you to have the effects lasting all day with fewer pills.
