Colpermin Capsules (peppermint oil 0.2mls) - 100 capsules

Colpermin is an antispasmodic and a carminative. It is used to relieve that spasm, bloating and cramp which occurs in the large bowel in Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
 
Colpermin is used to relieve the painful spasm and bloating of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Colpermin capsules are specially coated to survive the acidity of the stomach and stay intact until they reach the end of the small bowel, when they start to release the active ingredient. The peppermint oil continues to be steadily released as the capsules pass along the large bowel, so relaxing the spasm of the bowel wall. This relieves pain and allows pockets of gas, which may have made you feel bloated, pass along the bowel and out of the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is an extremely common complaint, estimated to affect about 9 million people in the UK. IBS is actually a collection of symptoms which most commonly painful abdominal spasm, griping, cramping, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation. The symptoms of IBS occur because the intestines begin to contract too tightly. You may experience one or more of these common symptoms at one time or another.
 
These symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome may be more noticeable when you are feeling stressed and anxious.

Colpermin can help break the cycle of spasm and bloating, and help normalise your bowels.
