I take Mebeverine time release capsules find them more effective than the tablets

Are they proscribed or available in the pharmacy?

in reply to supadexta

They are prescribed. Other over the counter remedies may affect other muscles but mbeverine only targets the colon, so you don't get drowsy side effects

Prescribed by my GP-I told my GP that the tabs took a long time to work so I am now on the capsules

Found tablets fine - very helpful - I take the fibre gel now but it really helped when I had it really badly for over six months.

Thanks very useful comment. I have not been sure if they help or not . I will continue.

I took mine 3 times a day - they worked within a few days but eating things like cream cakes was a no for me otherwise I would have a relapse. They helped all the symptoms. I also took fibregel in drink sachets, which may help even out the symptoms of block or run. Hope you feel well soon.
