Description

BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules

BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules relieve the symptoms of abdominal pain, minor spasms of the gastrointestinal tract (cramps) and flatulence (bloating) in adults and children over 12 years who weigh more than 40kg (6 stone). This herbal medicinal product is especially useful for patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Directions

Always take this medicine exactly as described in the leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. The recommended dose is:

Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age who weigh at least 40kg (6 stone):
  • One capsule 3 times a day.
  • Swallow whole with liquid ie. not broken, crushed or chewed.
  • Take 30 minutes before a meal.
Buscomint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules should be taken until symptoms resolve, usually within one or two weeks. You must talk to a doctor if you feel worse, or do not feelbetter after two weeks. If your symptoms persist, the capsules can be continued for periods up to 3 months per treatment course.

Ingredients

  • Active Ingredient: Peppermint oil 0.2ml (=181.6 mg) of Mentha x piperita L., aetheroleum.
  • Other Ingredients: Capsule shell (gelatin, glycerol, purified water, iron oxide yellow (E172), brilliant blue FCF (E133), medium chain triglycerides, sunflower lecithin), Coating (methacrylic acid – ethyl acrylate copolymer (1:1) dispersion 30 per cent, triethyl citrate, glycerol monostearate 40-5).
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23mg) per dosage unit, that is to say essentially "sodium-free".

Cautions

  • BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules should be swallowed whole i.e. not broken or chewed because the peppermint oil inside the capsules can cause local irritation of the mouth and gullet (oesophagus).
  • Check with your doctor or pharmacist immediately if unexplained abdominal pain persists or worsens, or occurs together with symptoms like fever, jaundice, vomiting, changes in bowel movement frequency, or blood in your stools.
  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.
  • Clinical data has shown that 1,8 cineol, one constituent of peppermint oil, capsules can be excreted into human breast milk. Therefore the use of BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules during lactation is not recommended.
Do not take BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules:
  • If you are allergic to peppermint oil or menthol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
  • If you suffer from liver disease, infection of the bile duct, reduced gastric acid production, gallstones or any other biliary disorders.
  • If you weigh less than 40kg (6 stone) bodyweight, because of safety concerns.
  • If you are under 12 years of age.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules:
  • If you already suffer from heartburn (acid ingestion) or hiatus hernia (protrusion of the upper part of the stomach) - symptoms can sometimes worsen after taking BuscoMint Peppermint Oil Soft Capsules. In this case the treatment should be discontinued.
  • If you are taking other medicinal products used to decrease stomach acid, like histamine-2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors or antacids which may cause the coating of the capsule to dissolve prematurely and should be avoided.
