COLOSPA RETD 15

About

COLOSPA RETD, containing Mebeverine, is an antispasmodic agent specifically designed to relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional bowel disorders. Mebeverine acts directly on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, causing relaxation and reducing spasms without affecting normal gut motility. Unlike anticholinergic drugs, it does not have significant systemic anticholinergic side effects, making it a well-tolerated option for long-term management. The 'RETD' (Retard) formulation provides a sustained release of the active ingredient, ensuring prolonged action and consistent symptom control throughout the day. This targeted action helps to alleviate abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, and discomfort associated with IBS, improving the quality of life for patients by restoring normal bowel function without causing constipation or diarrhea.
