FURTHER INFORMATION
1.
WHAT COLPERMIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Colpermin is an antispasmodic which is used to relieve the bloating,
painful spasms and cramps which
occur in the large bowel in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The
capsules contain peppermint oil, which
relaxes the spasm of the bowel wall. This relieves pain and allows
pockets of gas, which may have
made you feel bloated, to pass along the bowel and out of the body.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a condition in which there is pain, spasm
and bloating at almost any point
between the groin, the navel and the sides, sometimes accompanied by
diarrhoea and constipation.
The symptoms may be more noticeable when you are feeling stressed and
anxious.
2.
BEFORE YOU TAKE COLPERMIN
This medicine is suitable for most people but a few people should not
use it. If you are in any doubt,
talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE
•
If you are allergic to peppermint oil, or any of the other ingredients
of this medicine (listed in
section 6).
•
If you are ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS OR SOYA.
If any of these apply to you, GET ADVICE FROM YOUR DOCTOR OR
PHARMACIST WITHOUT USING
COLPERMIN.

The capsules should not be broken or chewed because this would release
the peppermint oil prematurely, possible
causing local irritation of the mouth and oesophagus.
