Buscopan IBS Relief- Pack of 20

Buscopan IBS Relief tablets are used to relieve abdominal cramps (spasms) that cause pain and discomfort associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). They contain hyoscine butylbromide, an antispasmodic that works by relaxing the cramping muscles of the bowel.

For best results: use only if a doctor has told you that you have IBS. If symptoms worsen or do not improve after 2 weeks, speak to a doctor.

Pack size: 20 tablets (2 x 10).

Always take this medicine exactly as described in the leaflet or as your pharmacist/doctor has told you.
