Colofac is a medication primarily used to manage symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar conditions. Its active ingredient is mebeverine hydrochloride, which works by relaxing the muscles in the gut, thereby reducing the painful spasms and cramps associated with IBS. Colofac is classified as an antispasmodic agent and is effective in treating abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel discomfort. It is available in various forms, including tablets and capsules, and is typically taken before meals for optimal effect. Colofac does not cure IBS but is effective in managing and alleviating its symptoms, helping to improve the quality of life for those affected by this condition.
