Manufacturer : WATERLEY PHARMACETICALS PVT LTDOrigin of Medicine : IndiaIntroduction:
Mycolon SR 200mg Capsule consists of the active substance Mebeverine, which is used to treat the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by recurring stomach pain, bloating and discomfort due to abnormal defecation. In this condition, the intestine squeezes too tightly, leading to pain. Constipation, diarrhea and bloating are frequent occurrences and when both constipation and diarrhea happen simultaneously, it is called mixed IBS. Stomach pain occurring more than once a week is a distinguishing characteristic of IBS from functional constipation.
Avoiding intake of certain foods that worsen your symptoms could be beneficial for improving your condition. If you are not experiencing improvement in your symptoms or if you develop new symptoms, inform your physician immediately.
