WHAT DO MEBEVERINE TABLETS 135 MG DO?
Your medicine is one of a group of medicines called antispasmodics. This medicine is
used as treatment for the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions
usually included in this grouping, such as: chronic irritable colon, spastic constipation,
mucous colitis, spastic colitis. This is a very common condition which causes spasm
and pain in the gut or intestine. The intestine is a long muscular tube which squeezes
rhythmically so that food can pass down it to be digested. If the intestine goes into
spasm and squeezes too tightly, you get pain. The way antispasmodic medicines
work is by relieving the spasm and pain.
