What is Colofac (Mebeverine HCL) used for?

Colofac (Mebeverine HCL) is an oral antispasmodic medication prescribed to patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The medication operates by preventing muscle spasms in the digestive tract to stop diarrhoea, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or the frequent need to use the restroom. Your doctor may also recommend its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Colofac (Mebeverine HCL)?

Colofac (Mebeverine HCL) is normally prescribed to be taken once daily at a dosage of one tablet, but your individual instructions will depend on your age, weight, current health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full cup of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal or snack is suggested before use if you experience nausea. Do not chew, split, or crush the tablets before use as this may destroy or change the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
