Zibra Tablet
Zibra Tablet Description
Zibra Tablets are used in relieving abdominal cramps and pain, associated with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is a combination of three active ingredients: Chlordiazepoxide, Cl
idinium, and Dicyclomine. Chlordiazepoxide lowers the excess activity of nerve cells. Clidinium and dicyclomine relax muscles in the stomach and intestines (gut). They also stop muscle spasms. Relieving bloating, pain, stomach discomfort, cramps, etc., are some of the benefits of Zibra Tablets. Irritable bowel syndrome is a common gastric disorder that affects the large intestine. It is a chronic condition that requires a long time of treatment. This medicine is also used in certain stomach conditions, like peptic ulcers and other conditions that cause abdominal pain and cramps. Certain lifestyle changes like having a fibre-rich diet, avoiding foods that trigger stomach symptoms, high water intake and regular exercise can help you get better results. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver diseases. You should also inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
