Medical Description
Mycolon C Tablet is used for the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Managing the symptoms like abdominal pain, abdominal muscle spasms, and flatulence, are some of the uses of Mycolon C Tablet.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Mycolon C Tablet is composed of chlordiazepoxide and mebeverine as its main ingredients. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine class of medicine. It increases the activity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is a chemical messenger. This chemical messenger reduces the excessive action of the nerve cells in the brain. It lowers the anxiety associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
Mebeverine is an antispasmodic medicine. It relaxes and calms the intestine muscles, that helps in relieving stomach pain and cramps.
