Colovatil 30 Tablets

Colovatil 30 Tablets

Description:

Colovatil 30 Tablets is a prescription antispasmodic and psychotropic combination medicine containing mebeverine and sulpiride. It is primarily used for the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional gastrointestinal disorders associated with abdominal cramps, bloating, and altered bowel habits, especially when accompanied by anxiety or mood-related symptoms. Colovatil works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the gut and modulating dopamine activity in the brain, helping to relieve painful intestinal spasms and improve overall digestive comfort.

Indications:

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with abdominal pain and cramps
• Functional bowel disorders with changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or alternating patterns)
• Abdominal bloating and excess gas associated with intestinal spasm
• Pain and contraction related to small and large intestine of functional origin
• Psychosomatic gastrointestinal complaints where digestive symptoms are linked with anxiety, tension, or mild depressive symptoms
• Adjunctive treatment in some mood or mental disorders as assessed by a physician (due to sulpiride component)

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• mebeverine hydrochloride – concentration per tablet not specified in available data
• sulpiride – concentration per tablet not specified in available data

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Typical use: adults take the prescribed number of tablets per day, usually divided into 2–3 doses. Exact dosing regimen and duration must be determined by the treating doctor.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Can be taken before or after food as directed by your doctor; if stomach upset occurs, your doctor may advise taking it with food.
• Take the medicine at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels in the body.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Do not stop treatment suddenly without medical advice, especially if you have been using the product for a prolonged period.

Clinical Benefits:

• Relieves painful intestinal spasms by relaxing the smooth muscles of the gut (mebeverine action).
• Helps reduce abdominal cramps, bloating, and gas associated with irritable bowel syndrome and functional bowel disorders.
• Improves bowel comfort and may help normalize bowel habits in IBS when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
• Modulates dopamine activity in the brain (sulpiride action), which may help in managing associated anxiety, tension, or mood-related symptoms that can worsen digestive complaints.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to mebeverine, sulpiride, or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with prolactin-dependent tumors (e.g., pituitary prolactinomas, breast cancer) due to sulpiride’s effect on prolactin levels.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of epilepsy, seizures, or other neurological disorders, as sulpiride may lower the seizure threshold.
• Use with caution in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment; dose adjustment or alternative therapy may be required.
• May cause drowsiness, dizziness, or visual disturbances in some patients. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• May increase prolactin levels, potentially causing menstrual irregularities, breast tenderness, or galactorrhea; inform your doctor if such symptoms occur.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy; sulpiride and mebeverine should only be used in pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
• Breastfeeding: sulpiride may pass into breast milk; use only under strict medical supervision or avoid use while breastfeeding as advised by your doctor.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including antipsychotics, antidepressants, antihypertensives, and other CNS-active drugs, to avoid potential interactions.
• Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of drowsiness or other side effects; limit or avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have a history of heart disease, arrhythmias, or are taking medicines that affect heart rhythm.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, epilepsy, heart disease, or hormonal disorders.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, mild gastrointestinal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, or headache.
• Due to sulpiride, some patients may experience drowsiness, dizziness, restlessness, weight changes, or increased prolactin levels (e.g., breast tenderness, menstrual disturbances, galactorrhea).
• Less common but serious side effects can include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing), severe dizziness, fainting, or signs of heart rhythm disturbances.
• Very rare but serious reactions such as extrapyramidal symptoms (muscle stiffness, tremor, abnormal movements) or neuroleptic malignant syndrome (high fever, muscle rigidity, confusion) require immediate medical attention.
• Stop using the product and seek urgent medical help if you notice any signs of severe allergic reaction, severe mood or behavior changes, uncontrolled movements, or high fever with muscle stiffness.
