Colofac

What are Colofac For IBS Relief Tablets

Colofac Tablets 135 mg contain Mebeverine hydrochloride. This belongs to a group of medicines called antispasmodics.

This medicine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar problems such as chronic irritable colon, spastic constipation, mucous colitis and spastic colitis.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common condition which causes spasms and pain in the gut or intestine.

The intestine is a long muscular tube which food passes down so it can be digested. You get pain if the intestine goes into spasm and squeezes too tightly. This medicine works by relieving the spasm, pain and other symptoms of IBS.

The main symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) include:

• stomach pain and spasm
• feeling bloated and having wind
• having diarrhoea (with or without constipation)
• small, hard, pellet-like or ribbon-like stools (faeces)

Your diet and lifestyle can also help treat IBS:

How you restrict your diet depends on the way IBS affects you. If you find that certain foods bring on the symptoms, then it makes sense not to eat them. A high-fibre diet may help, but ask your pharmacist for more information.

Some people find that learning to relax can help to lessen their symptoms of IBS. You may find it helpful to set aside a few moments each day to relax and gently unwind.
