Mintec provides relief of the bloating, abdominal pain, cramping and discomfort associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The special coating delays release of the medication until it reaches the lower small bowel and colon.
Directions
The usual dosage is one capsule three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. If there are times when your symptoms are particularly severe, the dose may be increased to two capsules, three times a day.
It is best not to take Mintec after a meal or with a hot drink, as this may result in the peppermint oil being released in the stomach and cause symptoms of heartburn.
The capsules should be swallowed whole with water.
Ingredients
Each enteric-coated capsule contains 0.2 mL of pure peppermint oil and it is free from gluten and lactose.
Warnings
Do not break or chew the capsules.
Mintec is not recommended for use during pregnancy or for use in children unless on the advice of a doctor.
If symptoms persist seek medical advice.
