Verine SR 200 mg 30 Capsules

Description

Verine SR is a capsule containing Mebeverine hydrochloride. This belongs to a group of medicines called antispasmodics. This medicine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This is a very common condition which causes spasm and pain in the gut or intestine. The intestine is a long muscular tube which food passes down so it can be digested. If the intestine goes into spasm and squeezes too tightly, you get pain. The way this medicine works is 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). These symptoms may vary from person to person. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if these symptoms do not improve after a while, if you develop new symptoms, or you are concerned about your symptoms. 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 fiber 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. How to use Always take Verine SR as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Try to take the capsule 20 minutes before a meal - some people find their symptoms to be strongest after they have eaten. Swallow the capsule whole with a drink of water. Do not chew the capsule.
