ISPAGHULA HUSK+MEBEVERINE is a class of medicines called 'antispasmodic' (spasm and cramps reliever) agent primarily used to treat inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS), stomach pain due to spasm, cramps, bloating, and diarrhea or constipation. Inflammatory bowel syndrome is an umbrella term describing complications that involve chronic inflammation of your digestive tract. Besides this, abdominal spasms are the acute condition in which the abdominal muscles (abs), intestine, and stomach contract severely.
ISPAGHULA HUSK+MEBEVERINE is a combination of two medicines: Mebeverine (spasm and cramps reliever) and Ispaghula (laxative). Mebeverine works by blocking calcium channels and muscarinic receptors on the smooth muscle, which cause muscle contraction and pain sensation, thereby stopping sudden muscle contractions (spasms) and reducing abdominal pain caused by spasms, cramps, and gas formation, bloating, and discomfort. Ispaghula works by absorbing water and makes the stool soft and bulky, easier to pass.
