Pharmacology
This combination of Ispaghula Husk and Mebeverine Hydrochloride is specially designed for IBS. Painful spasms of the gut and irregular bowel habits are the main symptoms of IBS, and this product successfully relieves them. Ispaghula Husk contains up to 70% soluble and 30% insoluble fibers, a unique feature that allows it to absorb up to 40 times its own weight in water. Ispaghula Husk increases fiber in the diet, helps the digestive system work more efficiently, and gently relieves bowel problems in a natural way, helping to restore and maintain regularity. Mebeverine is an antispasmodic drug that relieves the spasms and cramps that occur in the gut and cause pain, without affecting normal gut motility.
