Description
Alverine Citrate is an antispasmodic medication that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the intestines and uterus. It alleviates symptoms of IBS, such as stomach cramping, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation, as well as providing relief for painful periods and diverticular disease. The capsules are suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age.
They work by relaxing the muscles in the intestine, which relieves pain and cramping. Alverine citrate capsules are available over-the-counter and do not require a prescription. However, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider before taking this or any other medication.
Alverine Citrate treats stomach pain, cramps, gas, and muscle spasms.
