Colofac MR 200mg Capsules (Mebeverine)

Who we can supply: adults 18 and over whose IBS has been diagnosed by a doctor. We don’t diagnose IBS online: if you haven’t been diagnosed, please see your GP. If you’re 60 or over, we can supply Colofac MR for IBS you’ve had for a while, but new or changed bowel symptoms need your GP.

See your GP first (don’t use this treatment) if you have: blood in your poo, or black poo; weight loss you can’t explain, or a lump in your tummy or back passage; a change in your bowel habit and you’re 60 or over; tummy swelling or bloating that won’t go away, especially if you’re 50 or over (women); a high temperature, vomiting, or severe pain that keeps getting worse; a family history of bowel or ovarian cancer, or of coeliac or inflammatory bowel disease, and new symptoms.

Our guide to IBS red flags explains why these matter.

This service isn’t suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Please speak to your GP or midwife.

• No common interactions with other medicines are known, but tell the prescriber everything you take.

• Alcohol doesn’t interact with mebeverine, but it can trigger IBS symptoms.

If mebeverine doesn’t help, the prescriber can talk to you about other options, such as Buscopan IBS Relief, alverine or peppermint oil. Our guide to mebeverine vs Buscopan vs alverine compares them.
