Colpermin 187mg Capsules 20s deliver targeted symptomatic relief from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by releasing natural peppermint oil exactly where it is needed in the lower digestive tract. Each gastro-resistant capsule contains 187mg of peppermint oil (0.2mL) that acts directly on the intestinal muscles to ease abdominal cramps, bloating, trapped wind and flatulence. Manufactured in Switzerland by Tillotts Pharma, this herbal medicine is clinically proven to help adults and children from age 8 manage everyday IBS symptoms.
How It Works
Colpermin uses a specialised enteric coating that allows the capsule to pass intact through the stomach and release peppermint oil directly in the small bowel and colon. The active ingredient acts as an antispasmodic, relaxing the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract by interfering with calcium ion movement. This local action reduces colonic pressure, eases painful spasms and relieves the sensation of bloating and trapped wind that often accompanies IBS.
Important Information
Do not use Colpermin if you are allergic to peppermint oil, menthol, peanuts or soya, or if you have liver disease, gallstones or other biliary conditions. Not suitable for children under 8 years. Do not take indigestion remedies within 2 hours of Colpermin. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing IBS symptoms for the first time. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist beyond 2 weeks or worsen during treatment.
