Buscopan IBS Relief 10mg Coated Tablets provide targeted relief from painful abdominal cramps and discomfort associated with medically confirmed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Each tablet contains hyoscine butylbromide 10mg, an antispasmodic medicine that works by relaxing the cramping muscles of the bowel.

Buscopan IBS Relief can help manage the abdominal cramps and spasms that occur with IBS. IBS may also be associated with bloating, excess wind, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea or constipation.

For adults and children aged 12 years and over, the recommended starting dose is 1 tablet three times daily. If necessary, this can be increased to a maximum of 2 tablets four times daily. Swallow the tablets whole with water.

Only use Buscopan IBS Relief if a doctor has previously diagnosed you with IBS. New or unexplained abdominal symptoms should not be self-diagnosed as IBS.

If symptoms worsen or have not improved after 2 weeks, speak to a doctor.

Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
