Colpermin is made with peppermint oil as the active ingredient to provide gentle and fast relief from the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The remedy helps in relaxing the bowel muscle to help relieve the tight knotting, constipation and painful cramps. IBS causes blotting from trapped wind in the pockets of the abdominal muscles and colpermin relieves this gas.

Description

What is Colpermin?

Colpermin contains peppermint oil, an antispasmodic that relaxes muscles in the bowel, helping relieve IBS symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain. The capsules are designed to release the oil gradually, providing relief without causing irritation to the stomach. Colpermin can be taken without a prescription, making it accessible for managing flare-ups of IBS symptoms. The capsules should be taken 1-2 times, three times daily, preferably an hour before meals. The effects are usually felt within a week or two of consistent use.

How Does Colpermin Work?

Colpermin Capsules are protectively coated so that they survive the stomach digestive acids. The capsules release the active ingredient peppermint oil directly into the lower bowel. Peppermint oil relaxes intestines muscles, reduces trapped wind, and regulates bowel movements. As a result, it relieves symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, discomfort, and stomach pain, that come with IBS.
