Hi what's the difference between buscopan ibs relief and buscopan cramps medication? Finding it very confusing.

I have recently been diagnosed with ibs and doctor not helping much, on my own found buscopan ibs relief which seems to help but can't find any easy info explaining the difference in their products? Does anyone have personal experience?

From my experience they are both antispasmodics which stop painful spasms of the large intestine. I take 6 prescribed buscopan daily and they help a lot. Doc will give them on prescription if you ask and you've been diagnosed.
