About Colpermin
Colpermin is a clinically proven IBS relief medication featuring natural peppermint oil in sustained-release capsules, designed to provide targeted relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The unique formulation delivers peppermint oil directly to where it's needed in the gut, helping relax the bowel and relieve painful spasms, bloating, trapped wind, and irregular bowel movements. Each Colpermin capsule contains 0.2ml of peppermint oil with a special enteric coating that delays release until the capsule reaches the lower digestive tract. Pharmacological studies demonstrate that peppermint oil relaxes gastrointestinal smooth muscle by interfering with calcium ion mobilisation, leading to reduced colonic pressure and relief from IBS symptoms. The recommended dosage is one or two capsules up to three times daily, depending on symptom severity. Capsules should be swallowed whole on an empty stomach—not chewed or taken immediately after food. Symptoms typically resolve within one to two weeks, though treatment can continue for two to three months for persistent cases. Available over the counter at UK pharmacies including Boots, Well Pharmacy, and various online pharmacy services, Colpermin comes in 10, 20, 60, and 100 capsule packs. Note that Colpermin contains refined peanut (arachis) oil and is not suitable for those with peanut or soya allergies.
