Colofac IBS Tablets relieve abdominal pain, cramps, spasms, bloating and wind associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Each tablet contains 135mg of mebeverine hydrochloride, an antispasmodic medicine.

Mebeverine relaxes the muscles in the bowel, helping to relieve painful spasms without affecting normal bowel movement.

The usual dose is one tablet three times daily, preferably around 20 minutes before meals. Swallow it whole with water and do not chew it.
