WHAT IS FYBOGEL MEBEVERINE?

Fybogel Mebeverine contains ispaghula husk, which is a natural plant material which is high in fibre. It works by increasing the bulk of the contents of the gut passing through the digestive system, helping your body to work normally. Mebeverine is an antispasmodic drug which relieves spasms and cramps, which occur in the gut causing pain.

This product is to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. If you have irritable bowel syndrome, you are likely to suffer from painful spasms of the gut and irregular bowel habits. Fybogel Mebeverine is effective in relaxing the spasms of the gut, relieving pain. At the same time Fybogel Mebeverine will help you to restore and maintain bowel regularity.
