Colofac Description
What is Colofac?
Colofac is an over‑the‑counter medicine used to relieve stomach cramps, discomfort and bloating caused by irritable bowel syndrome. The tablet contains mebeverine, a drug that relaxes the smooth muscles in the gut. In Australia it is commonly sold in 135 mg tablets and labelled for adults with IBS symptoms.
Colofac is widely stocked in chemist shops and online in Australia. It is approved for short‑term relief of gut cramps, provided you follow the dosing instructions. Check the product label for specific guidance in your state.
How Colofac works
The active ingredient smooths the intestinal muscles, reducing spasms that trigger pain after meals or during stress. By easing these spasms, it can help lower cramping and bloating.
This action does not affect the underlying causes of IBS, such as diet or gut sensitivity. It mainly helps to manage episodes and improve daily comfort. For some people, the benefit is noticeable within a day or two.
How to take Colofac
Adults typically take one 135 mg tablet three times a day. It is best taken about 20 minutes before meals with water. Don’t chew or crush the tablet.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Follow the label or your pharmacist’s advice.
Who should use Colofac and who should avoid it
This medicine is for adults with IBS‑type symptoms such as cramping, bloating or irregular bowel movements. If you have a known allergy to mebeverine, you should not take Colofac.
People with severe liver problems, intestinal blockage or glaucoma should seek medical advice before starting Colofac. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your clinician about safety and alternatives. Discuss all current medicines with your pharmacist to avoid interactions.
What customers say: a short review
Many Australian customers report a clear reduction in cramps after a few days. Some say meals feel less uncomfortable and they can plan their day more easily. Others appreciate that the tablets are small and easy to swallow.
In our online shop, shoppers value the simple dosing schedule and the fact that the product is easy to obtain. A few customers note that consistent daily use yields the best results. It is not a cure, but it can help with symptom management.
Colofac in Australia — availability, pricing and tips
Colofac is widely available from chemists and online pharmacies in Australia. Prices vary by seller and by pack size. Look for 135 mg tablets with a clear expiry date and batch information on the carton.
Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Keep out of reach of children. When shopping online, choose a reputable Australian retailer and check that the product is registered for sale in Australia. Read the label for warnings and instructions.
Storage, safety and allergy information
Keep Colofac in its original packaging until you are ready to use it. Do not use beyond the expiry date. If you notice signs of an allergic reaction, stop taking the medicine and seek medical help promptly.
This medication is intended for short‑term relief of IBS symptoms. If symptoms persist beyond a week or worsen, speak with a healthcare professional for further advice or to rule out other conditions.
What to do if symptoms persist
If cramps persist for more than a week, worsen, or new symptoms appear, consult a clinician. A doctor may review your IBS management plan, including dietary approaches or other medicines.
Colofac vs other IBS medicines
Colofac focuses on reducing gut muscle spasms, rather than treating diarrhoea or constipation directly. Some people use it alongside fibre changes or probiotics for IBS relief.
Always check with a pharmacist before combining Colofac with other medicines. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and avoid using it with products that slow gut movement unless advised.
Bottom line for shoppers
Colofac provides a practical option for many adults in Australia to manage IBS symptoms. It is easy to use, widely available and generally well tolerated when used as directed.
Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure how Colofac fits with your current treatment plan. Read the label and store the medicine safely to keep it effective.
