COLPERMIN
®
WHAT IS COLPERMIN
® AND HOW IS IT USED?
The active constituent of Colpermin is natural peppermint oil, which
is obtained from the
above-ground parts of Mentha Piperita L. (peppermint). Colpermin
capsules contain
peppermint oil, with its main constituent, menthol, embedded in a
paste-like base. Colpermin
is used symptomatically for hyperirritability of the bowel, especially
of the large bowel
(irritable colon), and for bowel spasm, particularly large-bowel
spasm, as well as a sensation
of fullness and bloating. To allow the peppermint oil to take effect
locally in the bowel, each
capsule is coated with a gastric acid-resistant protective film, which
prevents premature
release of the peppermint oil within the stomach.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD BE NOTED?
If possible, the medicine should not be taken at the same time as food
or heartburn remedies.
Otherwise, this could cause the capsule to dissolve prematurely and
the leaking peppermint
oil to produce heartburn.
In addition to medicinal treatment of irritable bowel symptoms,
dietary adjustments are often
beneficial. Please ask your doctor or pharmacist.
WHEN MUST COLPERMIN® NOT BE USED AT ALL?
Colpermin must not be administered to children below 8 years of age.
WHEN MUST COLPERMIN® SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION?
Colpermin must not be used in cases of known hypersensitivity to
peppermint oil, menthol,
peanuts and soya (cross-allergy possible) or to any of the excipients
listed in the composition.
Colpermin should not be used in cases of bile duct obstruction,
gallbladder inflammation or
