What is Buscopan IBS Relief?

Buscopan IBS Relief Tablets belong to a class of drugs called antispasmodics. They are designed to ease the pain and discomfort caused by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by relaxing the muscles in the gut. This helps to stop muscle spasms and reduce symptoms such as cramping and bloating.

IBS affects the digestive system, causing symptoms including stomach cramps, diarrhoea, constipation, and bloating. Although common, IBS currently has no cure, but Buscopan helps manage its distressing symptoms.

Buscopan IBS Relief Tablets can be conveniently and discreetly purchased through SwiftMedi after completing a simple online consultation to confirm your eligibility.

How Does Buscopan Work?

Buscopan contains hyoscine butylbromide, which relaxes the smooth muscles lining the gut. This prevents painful spasms and cramps triggered by IBS and other digestive conditions.
