Colofac IBS tablets 15 pack - for Irritable Bowel Syndrome helps the bowel to relax making movement of stools more normal
Colofac IBS Irritable Bowel Syndrome Tablets are a well-known antispasmodic meaning they help the bowel to relax making movement of stools more normal.
It contains the active ingredient Mebeverine Hydrochloride which is used for the management of irritable bowel syndrome. Colofac helps relieve the symptoms of IBS, which include abdominal pain and cramps, bowel spasm, diarrhoea and flatulence by relaxing the muscles in the gut. These come in a round, white, sugar coated tablet. Mebeverine works by calming muscle spasms in the gut.
