Description

Peppermint Oil 0.2ml Gastro-Resistant Capsules

Peppermint Oil 0.2ml Gastro-Resistant Capsules are used to relieve the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Extracted from the peppermint plant, the naturally occuring oil helps to relax spasm in the muscle of the bowel wall and restore normal bowel contractions. This helps to decrease the trapping of air and other bowel contents and relieves abdominal bloating, wind, discomfort and pain.

Directions

Swallow the capsules whole with a little liquid. Do not break or chew them.

Adults and elderly:

  • Take one capsule three times a day, preferably before meals. Do not take the capsules immediately after food.
  • If your symptoms are particularly severe, the dose may be increased to two capsules three times a day.
  • Peppermint Oil 0.2ml Gastro-Resistant Capsules should be taken until your symptoms resolve, but may be continued for up to 3 months.

Children: Mintec is not recommended for use in children

If you experience new symptoms, worsening of your condition or notice no improvement after two weeks of treatment, please see your doctor.
