Mevulak Sachet

Mevulak Sachet is a combination medication containing MEBEVERINE and Ispaghula Husk as its active ingredients. It is primarily used for the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, particularly those associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation.

Ingredients:

1. Mebeverine: Mebeverine is an antispasmodic medication that works by relaxing the muscles in the intestines and gut. It helps to reduce abdominal pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
2. Ispaghula Husk: Ispaghula husk is a natural fiber supplement derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant. It is commonly used as a bulk-forming laxative to promote regular bowel movements and relieve constipation.

Uses:

1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Mevulak Sachet is indicated for the symptomatic relief of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), including abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, and altered bowel habits.
2. Constipation: The combination of Mebeverine and Ispaghula Husk helps to alleviate constipation by increasing stool bulk, softening the stool, and facilitating its passage through the gastrointestinal tract.
3. Abdominal Discomfort: It may also be used to relieve general abdominal discomfort and discomfort associated with gastrointestinal spasms.

Side Effects:

1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal side effects, such as bloating, flatulence, or abdominal discomfort, particularly at the onset of treatment.
2. Allergic Reactions: Rarely, allergic reactions to Mebeverine or Ispaghula Husk may occur, presenting as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention if any allergic symptoms develop.

Precautions:

1. Medical Conditions: Use Mevulak Sachet with caution in patients with known gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or intestinal obstruction.
2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare professional before using Mevulak Sachet during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
3. Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, as Mebeverine may interact with certain drugs, including anticholinergic medications and opioid analgesics.

When Not to Use:

Mevulak Sachet is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Mebeverine, Ispaghula Husk, or any other component of the sachet. It should not be used in patients with severe gastrointestinal conditions such as intestinal obstruction or perforation.
