COLOSPA TAB

About

Colospa Tab, containing mebeverine, is an antispasmodic agent specifically formulated to provide relief from the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders. It works by directly relaxing the smooth muscles in the wall of the intestine, thereby reducing painful spasms and cramps without disrupting normal gut motility. This targeted action helps to alleviate abdominal discomfort, bloating, and changes in bowel habits associated with these conditions.

Unlike some other antispasmodics, mebeverine does not have anticholinergic effects, meaning it does not interfere with the autonomic nervous system and therefore has fewer systemic side effects such as dry mouth or blurred vision. This makes it a preferred choice for patients requiring long-term management of their IBS symptoms, helping to improve their quality of life by providing consistent relief from gastrointestinal distress.
