Alverine Tablets – Effective Relief for IBS and Muscle Spasms

Alverine is a prescription medication used to alleviate symptoms caused by muscle spasms, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and diverticular disease. By relaxing smooth muscles, Alverine reduces pain, cramping, bloating, and discomfort.

Additionally, Alverine can be used to treat severe period pain (dysmenorrhea), but Medihealth Direct currently prescribes this medication solely for IBS treatment. Alverine is also available under the brand names Audmonal and Audmonal Forte, offering the same active ingredient and benefits.

How Does Alverine Work?

Targeting Muscle Spasms for Effective Relief

Alverine is part of the antispasmodic medication group, containing the active ingredient alverine citrate. This medication works by targeting the smooth muscles found in the intestines, stomach, and uterus. These muscles contract involuntarily, leading to cramping, pain, and discomfort associated with conditions like IBS.

By relaxing these muscles, Alverine minimises the frequency and intensity of contractions, alleviating symptoms such as:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Bloating
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhoea
  • Bowel incontinence

How to Take Alverine Tablets

Dosage Recommendations

Alverine is available in two strengths: 60mg and 120mg. The appropriate dosage depends on the severity of your symptoms:

  1. Begin with one 60mg tablet three times daily, swallowed with a glass of water.
  2. If symptoms persist, a healthcare provider may recommend switching to 120mg tablets three times daily.
  3. If symptoms do not improve after two weeks, consult your healthcare professional for alternative treatments.

Important Guidelines for Use:

  • Take tablets with or without food.
  • Do not exceed the prescribed dose, as this increases the risk of side effects.
  • If you forget a dose, take it within four hours. If more than four hours have passed, skip the missed dose and take the next one as scheduled. Do not double the dose.

Always follow your healthcare professional’s instructions and read the patient information leaflet included with your medication.

Possible Side Effects of Alverine

Most individuals tolerate Alverine well, but side effects can occur. Commonly reported reactions include:

  • Dizziness*
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Skin rashes or reactions
  • Difficulty breathing (dyspnoea)
  • Swelling of lips, tongue, or throat (allergic reaction)

If you experience any side effects, especially allergic reactions, stop taking Alverine and contact your healthcare professional immediately.

*Dizziness may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery; exercise caution until you know how the medication affects you.
