Spasmonal (Alverine) IBS Relief - 100 Capsules

Spasmonal is a type of anti-spasmodic medication, which provides relief from symptoms caused by IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) by relaxing the muscles in the intestine (gut) and uterus (womb). This helps to stop the pain caused when the muscles become tense. This product can also be used for a condition called Painful Diverticular Disease of the colon (a condition that affects the large intestine) and to provide relief from period pain.

Do NOT take Spasmonal if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to Alverine Citrate or any of the other ingredients (see ingredients tab for full list) or if your doctor has told you that you have an obstruction of the gut or that your small bowel is not working properly. This product is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
