Medicine Description futagastric-sr 200 mg
futagastric sr 200 mg capsules is a medication that combines mebeverine, an antispasmodic agent, and simethicone, an anti-foaming agent. Mebeverine works by selectively relaxing the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the colon. This action helps alleviate spasms and cramps associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Simethicone complements this effect by reducing gas bloating and discomfort by breaking down gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, allowing for easier passage of gas. Together, these components provide relief from abdominal pain and discomfort, enhancing overall gastrointestinal function.
