What is Colospa? How to Treat with Generic Mebeverine.

Generic Colospa (Mebeverine 135 mg) guide:

What is the medication marketed as Colospa?

Colospa is one of the trade names used for the world-known medication Mebeverine. It is owned by a certain pharmaceutical company and cannot be used by its competitors yet other drug makers are also able to make the same medication because the original formula was discovered back in the 1960s and is no longer protected by an exclusive copyright. Under the other names, less known and advertised ones, the medication can be found cheaper. For instance, you can buy Colospa under the names Duspatalin, Sparex, Niaspasm, and others and get the same effect but pay several times less money for the pills.

Mebeverine is an anti-spastic that acts on the digestive system exclusively. It is used for various illnesses and symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal colic, biliary colic, and others.

How does Colospa render its effect?

Colospa or Generic Mebeverine is a myotropic spasmolytic with selective impact on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.  The preparation blocks sodium channels of smooth muscle cell’ membranes, prevents the entry of sodium ions into the cell and the spasm of the smooth muscles of the internal organs. Though this, it eliminates spasms without exercising influence on the normal intestinal peristalsis. Unlike cholinolytic drugs, this compound does not act on M-cholinoreceptors and does not exhibit the characteristic of anesthetics with M-choliniblocking effects and such negative reactions as the sensation of dry mouth, visual impairment, urinary retention, which allows it to be used in patients with hypertrophy of the prostate gland or glaucoma. The use of the preparation is not followed by the onset of intestinal reflux hypotension.

When taken orally, the pills are quickly absorbed and due to the delayed release of the active compound, it can be taken only twice a day. The medication isn’t accumulated in the body tissues and is washed out completely. Colospa is mainly metabolized by certain enzymes, which in the first stage of metabolism cleave ester bonds with the formation of veratric acid and Mebeverine alcohol.

The medication is excreted from the body in a form of its metabolites in the urine. 

When specifically Colospa can be used?

The medication can be appointed for adults in spasms of the alimentary organs including the one caused by the organic diseases such as intestinal colic, irritable bowel syndrome (symptomatic treatment of the pain syndrome and discomfort), and biliary colic.

Colospa and its generics can also be used in children older than ten years for functional gastrointestinal tract disorders accompanied by pain in the abdomen.

If you think that you may use the tablets for your illness based on the symptoms described, please consult your doctor first even though you can buy Generic Colospa without a prescription from our pharmacy to be sure that you don’t have any other serious conditions that caused these symptoms and require different treatment rather than the suppression of the symptoms.
