Colospa Retard 15 cap

Colospa Retard from Abbott is a slow-release prescription capsule used mainly in irritable bowel syndrome. The retard form releases the medicine gradually so you get steady relief through the day.

• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Long-lasting cramp relief
• Bloating with gut pain
• Chronic spasm-type discomfort

Mebeverine relaxes the smooth muscles of the bowel to ease cramping. The slow-release shell drips the medicine out steadily, giving relief over a longer period.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with water about 20 minutes before meals. Swallow the capsule whole; do not open, crush or chew it.

• Mild headache
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Skin rash rarely
• Constipation sometimes

Not for paralytic ileus or known allergy to mebeverine. Tell your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding or liver issues. Avoid alcohol during the course.

Store below 25 degrees C, in a dry place away from sunlight. Keep capsules in the strip and out of children's reach.
