Mode of action
Mebeverine is an antimuscarinic. Mebeverine belongs to a group of compounds called musculotropic antispasmodics. These compounds act directly on the gut muscles at the cellular level to relax them. Mebeverine is also an inhibitor of calcium-depot replenishment. Therefore, mebeverine has dual mode of action which normalizes the small bowel motility.
Indications
Spastic functional disturbances of the colon:
- Irritable bowel syndrome in its primary form
- Irritable bowel syndrome associated with organic lesions of the gastrointestinal tract such as; diverticulosis and diverticulitis, regional enteritis, disease of the gall bladder and gall ducts, gastric and duodenal ulcers, dysentery, and aspecific or specific inflammation of the digestive tract.
- mebeverine should be taken 20 minutes before meals.
Adverse effects
Since 1978, 21 cases of severe adverse reactions to mebeverine were reported in the Netherlands.[1] Most reactions consisted of urticaria or maculopapular rash, sometimes accompanied by fever, polyarthritis, thrombopenia or angioedema.
Listed side effects
Very rarely, people taking this medicine may develop allergic reactions.[2]
