Colpermin Capsules - IBS Relief

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 bloating from trapped wind in the pockets of the abdominal muscles. Colpermin relieves the gas. Colpermin Capsules are protectively coated so that they survive the stomach digestive acids. The tablets 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.

What are Colpermin Capsules used for?

Colpermin Capsules are used to alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), such as stomach cramps, bloating, and trapped wind. They contain peppermint oil, which acts as an antispasmodic to relax the muscles in the intestines.
