Colpermin Capsules

Colpermin Caps contain natural peppermint oil formulated in a sustained release capsule. These capsules release peppermint oil where it is needed to relieve the symptoms of IBS including painful spasms, bloating and trapped wind, constipation and/or diarrhoea.

• Swallow the capsule whole with a drink of water.
• Adults and elderly: One capsule three times a day; the dose may be increased to two capsules three times a day if necessary.
• Do not take immediately after food. Do not chew or break the capsules. Do not take indigestion remedies at the same time of day as this medicine.
• If your condition does not improve after two weeks of treatment, consult your doctor.
• Children: Not recommended.

Please read the enclosed leaflet before use.

Caution before taking Colpermin Capsules:

Colpermin is usually well tolerated, though very occasionally heartburn and anal irritation can occur. If you have a tendency to suffer from heartburn and the capsules seem to make it worse, you should stop taking Colpermin and return to your Doctor or Pharmacist for advice.

If the capsules are chewed or broken before being swallowed, the peppermint oil may irritate the mouth and gullet. In very rare instances where someone is allergic to peppermint oil or menthol, a rash, headache, slow pulse rate, clumsiness or shaking may occur. This is more likely when alcohol has been consumed.

Each sustained release Capsule contains the Active Ingredient Peppermint Oil BP 0.2 ml

Colpermin IBS Relief Capsules also contain Gelatin and Refined Arachis Oil (Peanut Oil)
