Gospas Tablet

Gospas Tablet is prescribed for the management of irritable bowel syndrome, a condition marked by symptoms such as stomach pain, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. The medicine works by easing sudden spasms of the intestinal muscles, which helps in reducing abdominal discomfort. It also supports the passage of gas, thereby lowering bloating and uneasiness.

This medicine is usually taken on an empty stomach in the dose and duration suggested by the doctor. The amount you need will depend on your health condition and how you respond to treatment. It is important to continue the course for the full duration recommended, since stopping too early may cause symptoms to return. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medicines you are using, as they may interact with Gospas.

Possible side effects may include nausea, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, nervousness, difficulty in urination, weakness, drowsiness, blurred vision, or lack of coordination. These effects are generally short-lived and settle as your body adapts to the treatment. If any of these become troublesome or persistent, you should contact your doctor. Since the medicine can cause sleepiness or lightheadedness, it is advisable not to drive or perform activities requiring focus until you know how your body reacts to it. Alcohol should be avoided as it can intensify drowsiness.

Better results can be achieved if the treatment is combined with lifestyle adjustments such as eating fiber-rich foods, avoiding known trigger items, staying hydrated, and maintaining a regular exercise routine. Patients with liver or kidney issues, as well as women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should consult their doctor before starting this medication.

How it works

Together, they relieve cramps, reduce bloating, and ease discomfort.
