How does Mebeverine treat IBS?
Mebeverine works by targeting smooth muscles in the walls of the intestines (gut). These muscles are responsible for the rhythmic contractions that move food and waste through the digestive tract.
In conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), these contractions can become abnormal and overly intense, leading to symptoms such as cramping, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
Mebeverine acts as an antispasmodic, specifically relaxing the smooth muscles in your gut. This reduces the intensity and frequency of contractions, allowing your bowels to function more normally and relieving IBS symptoms.
