This capsule pairs alverine citrate, an antispasmodic that relaxes the muscle of the gut wall, with simeticone, which breaks up trapped gas bubbles. It targets the two complaints that dominate irritable bowel syndrome.

What This Combination Is Used For

Irritable bowel syndrome
Abdominal cramps and colicky pain
Bloating and trapped wind
Functional gut discomfort

Common Side Effects

Nausea
Headache
Dizziness
Itching or rash, uncommonly

Precautions

Swallow the capsules whole with water, before meals as directed. It relieves symptoms rather than curing IBS, and diet, stress and fibre often matter more over time. New symptoms after the age of forty, weight loss, bleeding, night time pain or a persistent change in bowel habit need proper assessment rather than antispasmodics.
