Mebeverine is an antispasmodic that are used to treat various symptoms of digestive disorders and irritable bowel conditions, such as spastic colitis, colon inflammation, mucus colitis, and spastic constipation. Antispasmodics are a medication used to treat muscle spasms (in this case, intestinal muscle spasms). Mebeverine works by blocking calcium channels and muscarinic receptors on the smooth muscle, which causes pain sensation. By targeting smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal tract, Mebervine reduces spasms, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
