Mebeverine works directly on the smooth muscle of the gut wall<\/strong>, relaxing spasm without blocking normal peristalsis — unlike anticholinergic antispasmodics (hyoscine, dicyclomine), mebeverine does \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd<\/strong> cause dry mouth, urinary retention, blurred vision, or tachycardia. Standard dose: 135 mg three times daily, 20 minutes before meals. Onset 30–60 minutes; effect lasts 4–6 hours. Safe for long-term daily use. Effective for cramping\/pain; less useful for bloating or constipation-dominant symptoms.

Supplied in packs of 30, 60, 90 or 180 tablets. Originator brand: Colofac<\/strong> (Abbott \/ Mylan \/ Viatris). In clinical use since the 1960s and one of the most widely prescribed drugs for IBS globally.<\/p>\n Unlike older antispasmodics (hyoscine butylbromide, dicyclomine, propantheline) that work by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and cause dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, and palpitations, mebeverine is a musculotropic antispasmodic<\/strong> — it acts directly on smooth muscle cells without engaging the autonomic nervous system. This means essentially no anticholinergic side effects at standard doses.<\/p>\n Mebeverine treats the spasm and pain<\/em> component of IBS. It does not address bloating, gas, constipation, or the psychological component — these may need additional strategies (peppermint oil, dietary FODMAP modification, psyllium, PEG laxatives, central modulators like low-dose amitriptyline).<\/p>\n The precise molecular mechanism of mebeverine is still debated, but the best-characterised actions include:<\/p>\n Mebeverine is highly metabolised on first-pass through the liver. Plasma concentrations of the parent drug are very low; activity is largely from the metabolite veratric acid<\/em> and direct smooth-muscle action during first intestinal passage.<\/p>\n \u03a6\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03ba\u03b9\u03bd\u03b7\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae:<\/strong> onset 30–60 minutes. Peak 1–3 hours. Duration of effect 4–6 hours. No meaningful accumulation; no dose adjustment needed for renal impairment.<\/p>\n Adults and children aged 10+:<\/strong> 135 mg three times daily, approximately 20 minutes before each main meal.<\/strong> Modified-release 200 mg capsules (twice daily) are available in some markets but are an alternative to the three-times-daily standard tablet.<\/p>\n Once symptoms are controlled, the dose may be reduced gradually or taken only as needed for flare-ups.<\/p>\n Mebeverine is one of the best-tolerated IBS medicines because it avoids anticholinergic effects.<\/p>\n \u03a3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u0391\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ae\u03b8\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Mebeverine does not cause drowsiness and does not impair driving.<\/p>\n Mebeverine has few clinically significant interactions. It is metabolised by esterases rather than CYP enzymes, so it is relatively interaction-free.<\/p>\n Store Colospa below 30°C in a dry place, in the original blister. Keep out of reach of children.<\/p>\n Yes — Colospa contains the same active ingredient (mebeverine hydrochloride) at the same strength as Colofac (Abbott \/ Viatris). Bioequivalence to the originator is required by regulatory authorities, so clinical effect is the same at the same dose.<\/p>\n Onset of smooth-muscle relaxation is 30–60 minutes after a dose; noticeable reduction in cramps usually within the first day or two. Full effect on symptom frequency often takes 1–2 weeks of regular dosing. If there is no improvement after 4 weeks at full dose, reconsider the diagnosis or add a second IBS strategy (dietary FODMAP, peppermint oil, central modulator).<\/p>\n No — mebeverine is not sedating and does not have anticholinergic effects at therapeutic doses. This is the main reason it is preferred over hyoscine or dicyclomine for long-term IBS management, especially in drivers, older adults, or patients on other medications.<\/p>\n Yes — long-term daily use of mebeverine is safe and commonly continued for months or years in chronic IBS. Many patients use it daily during symptomatic periods and pause when symptoms settle.<\/p>\n Yes — the combination is a sensible stacking strategy for IBS pain. Peppermint oil has a different mechanism (calcium-channel blockade in smooth muscle) and adds modest benefit. Take enteric-coated peppermint oil before meals, ideally at the same time as mebeverine.<\/p>\n Mebeverine’s strength is cramping and pain. It has little direct effect on bloating or constipation. For bloating, consider dietary FODMAP restriction and simethicone; for IBS-C (constipation-predominant), consider fibre modulation, PEG laxatives, or linaclotide.<\/p>\n Yes, moderate alcohol is fine with mebeverine. Be aware that alcohol is a common IBS trigger and may worsen symptoms independent of the medicine.<\/p>\n You can order Colospa (135 mg) from MedsBase in packs of 30, 60, 90 or 180 tablets.
