About Mebax Capsule 10's

Mebax Capsule 10's belongs to a class of drugs called 'antispasmodics' primarily used to treat painful stomach cramps in the condition of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with bloating. Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disease that affects the large intestine. IBS is also known as spastic colon, irritable colon, spastic colitis, and mucous colitis. An irritable bowel syndrome is a group of intestinal symptoms that occur together.

Mebax Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs: Mebeverine (antispasmodic) and Chlordiazepoxide (benzodiazepine). Mebeverine works by relaxing the intestinal muscle wall, thereby providing relief from painful muscle spasms. On the other hand, Chlordiazepoxide works by increasing a chemical messenger known as GABA (nerve-calming agent) activity in the brain, thereby decreasing nerve cells' abnormal activity. Thus, together it relaxes intestinal muscles, reduces stomach pain caused by spasms, cramps, gas formation, and bloating, and minimizes anxiety levels caused due to stomach discomfort. 

Take Mebax Capsule 10's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience drowsiness, dizziness, light-headedness, slurred speech, tiredness, lack of coordination, or difficulty in controlling movements.
