Colmint Capsule belongs to the class of 'antimicrobial agents,' primarily used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), indigestion, Crohn's disease (chronic inflammatory bowel disease), ulcerative colitis (inflammation in the colon), and heartburn. Irritable bowel syndrome is an intestinal disorder, which causes stomach pain, wind, constipation, and diarrhoea.
Colmint Capsule contains peppermint oil, an essential oil extracted from peppermint leaves. It is an antispasmodic agent that prevents spasms in the gastrointestinal tract. It also promotes the bile flow and relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, thus easing the symptoms of reflux.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Although peppermint oil is generally well-tolerated, some may experience common side effects like heartburn and a burning sensation in the rectal area. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.
Let your doctor know if you are sensitive or allergic to Colmint Capsule or any other medications. Before using Colmint Capsule , let your doctor know if you have any medical history. Colmint Capsule is not recommended for patients with the absence of hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions (a condition called achlorhydria). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Colmint Capsule . It is not recommended for use in children unless the doctor has advised.
