Apercap Peppermint Oil Capsules (0.2ml) are an antispasmodic treatment used to relieve the symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Apercap Peppermint Oil Capsules are specially coated to pass through the stomach intact and release peppermint oil directly in the gut, where it relaxes muscle spasms. This provides relief from the common IBS symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. The gastro-resistant coating ensures that the peppermint oil reaches the affected area in the intestines for maximum effectiveness​

Description

What is Apercap Peppermint Oil Capsule?

It is a medication that helps in the relaxation of the muscles of the bowel wall and eases digestion. The peppermint oil in these capsules acts as an antispasmodic, relaxing the muscles in the bowel to ease IBS symptoms​. 

How Does Apercap Peppermint Oil Work?

The contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the bowel are what facilitate the movement of food to the intestines for digestion. However, there are instances where the muscle contracts without relaxing in a regular way. This contraction inhibits the movement of food substances while causing pain and discomfort, resulting in a condition known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS can be characterized by pain, bloating, cramps, farting, and discomfort. Apercap works as a muscle relaxant that enables the muscles in the bowel to relax and ease the pain and discomfort experienced.
