Anticholinergic; Antispasmodic Agent
Mebeverine is a musculotropic antispasmodic agent used to relieve cramps or spasms of the stomach and intestine (gut). It is particularly useful in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar conditions. It works by relaxing the muscles and helping restore the normal movement of the gut.
Dosage & Administration Adults, elderly & children over 10 years: MevinTM Tablet: 1 tablet three times daily. MevinTM 200 SR Capsule: 1 capsule 2 times daily. MevinTM is most effective when taken 20 minutes before meals. After several weeks when the desired effect has been obtained, the dosage may be gradually reduced.
Caution should be exercised in porphyria or allergic reaction to this or any other medicine of this group.
Generally Mebeverine is well tolerated. However, few side-effects like skin rash, urticaria & angioedema may appear.
No teratogenicity has been shown in animal experiments. However, the usual precautions concerning the administration of any drug during pregnancy should be exercised. Mebeverine does not excrete in the breast milk after administering the therapeutic dose.
On theoretical grounds it may be predicted that CNS excitability will occur in case of overdosage. No specific antidote is known: gastric lavage and symptomatic treatment is recommended
