Colospa Retard Capsule

Colospa Retard Capsule is a prescription medication commonly used to manage symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), including abdominal pain, cramps, bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements. The active ingredient in this medicine works by relaxing the muscles in the intestines, thereby reducing painful spasms and easing digestive discomfort.

This capsule should be taken whole with water, preferably around 20 minutes before meals to help prevent post-meal symptoms. Always take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Avoid stopping the treatment abruptly without medical advice, as this may cause the symptoms to return or worsen. For better results, it’s advisable to follow a healthy lifestyle with a fiber-rich diet, adequate fluid intake, and regular physical activity.

Side effects are generally mild and infrequent. However, in rare cases, users may experience allergic reactions such as skin rashes, fainting, or swelling in areas like the face, lips, tongue, or throat. If any of these occur, seek immediate medical help and discontinue use.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine only after consulting a doctor.
