Ibico is manufactured under EU Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines to ensure consistent purity and potency.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ibico used for?+
Ibico contains Mebeverine Hydrochloride, an antispasmodic indicated for the symptomatic relief of irritable bowel syndrome and other functional bowel disorders. It helps reduce abdominal pain, cramping and irregular bowel movements by relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscle.
How does Mebeverine Hydrochloride work?+
Mebeverine Hydrochloride works by blocking calcium entry into smooth‑muscle cells of the gastrointestinal tract. This inhibition reduces muscle contractility, easing spasms while preserving normal peristalsis, and does not act through cholinergic or serotonergic receptors.
What is the usual dose of Ibico?+
The prescribed dose of Ibico is determined by the treating physician based on the individual’s clinical condition, severity of symptoms and response to therapy. Specific dosing regimens are not provided here and should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Ibico safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of Mebeverine Hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I order Ibico from GNH USA?+
To order Ibico, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.
How does Ibico compare with other antispasmodic drugs?+
Compared with anticholinergic agents such as hyoscine, Mebeverine (Ibico) provides smooth‑muscle relaxation without significant anticholinergic side effects like dry mouth or blurred vision. Its calcium‑channel‑blocking action offers a more targeted spasm relief while preserving normal gut motility.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Ibico?+

How is Ibico administered?+
Ibico is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, as directed by the prescribing clinician. Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless specifically advised.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ibico?+
Serious but rare risks include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or angioedema, and very uncommon cardiac arrhythmias. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience any signs of severe hypersensitivity or irregular heartbeat.
Who should not use Ibico?+
Ibico should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Mebeverine Hydrochloride or any of its excipients. Caution is also advised for patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment, and it should not be used without medical supervision in those populations.
