Generic Colospa Information

Introduction

Colospa is a therapeutic agent used primarily for the relief of abdominal pain and cramping associated with functional bowel disorders. Its active compound, mebeverine, belongs to the gastro‑relaxant group and exerts a direct smooth‑muscle relaxant effect without affecting the central nervous system. In Hong Kong, patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and related spasm‑type gastrointestinal complaints frequently seek an effective, well‑tolerated option such as Colospa. The medication is marketed under the “Gastro Health” product family and is intended for adult use.

What is Colospa?

Colospa is the generic version of Colofac, a widely recognised brand that contains the same active compound, mebeverine. Our online pharmacy provides this generic alternative as a cost‑effective treatment option. The product is formulated as film‑coated tablets, each delivering a standard dose of mebeverine. The development of mebeverine dates back to the 196s, and it has been approved by major regulatory agencies for the management of intestinal spasm. Manufacturer details are not publicly disclosed for this generic version, but the production follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards mandated by health authorities.

How Colospa Works

Mebeverine is a selective antispasmodic that acts directly on the smooth‑muscle cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It inhibits calcium influx through L‑type calcium channels, thereby reducing the contractile activity of the intestinal wall. The result is a relaxation of smooth muscle, which diminishes the intensity of colicky pain, bloating, and abnormal bowel rhythms.

Pharmacokinetic data show that mebeverine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 45 – 60 minutes. The drug has a plasma half‑life of approximately 2 hours, allowing for twice‑daily dosing in most clinical regimens. Metabolism occurs primarily in the liver via oxidative pathways, and metabolites are excreted renally. The quick onset and relatively short duration of action contribute to the symptom‑relieving profile observed in IBS patients.

Conditions Treated with Colospa

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – predominant constipation (IBS‑C) or mixed pattern (IBS‑M): Clinical trials in European and Asian populations have demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in abdominal pain scores when mebeverine is administered at 135 mg three times daily.
• Functional Abdominal Pain: Patients with idiopathic intestinal spasms, not fulfilling full IBS criteria, experience symptomatic improvement with mebeverine therapy.
• Acute Gastro‑intestinal Spasm: Short‑term use after surgical procedures or during acute colicky episodes can alleviate discomfort while maintaining normal motility.

In Hong Kong, IBS prevalence is estimated at 10–15 % of the adult population, mirroring trends observed in other urban Asian settings. The symptomatic burden includes frequent physician visits, reduced productivity, and increased use of over‑the‑counter medications, underscoring the clinical relevance of an effective antispasmodic such as Colospa.

Patient Groups Most Likely to Benefit

• Adults aged 18–65 with chronic or recurrent IBS symptoms who have not responded adequately to dietary modifications or fibre supplementation.
• Patients experiencing episodic abdominal cramping related to stress, hormonal fluctuations, or post‑prandial spasms.
• Individuals with a documented intolerance to opioid‑type antispasmodics (e.g., dicyclomine) who require a non‑sedating alternative.

Colospa is generally not recommended for:

• Patients with known hypersensitivity to mebeverine or any excipients in the tablet formulation.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless a physician determines the benefit outweighs potential risk.
• Individuals with severe hepatic impairment, as metabolism may be altered, necessitating dose adjustment.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Nausea – mild, transient and often resolves with continued dosing.
• Headache – occasional, may be alleviated with adequate hydration.
• Dry mouth – due to reduced GI secretions; encourage sips of water.

Rare

• Hypotension – isolated reports of mild blood pressure reduction; monitor in patients on antihypertensive therapy.
• Skin rash or urticaria – sign of possible allergic reaction; discontinue if progressive.

Serious

• Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) – characterized by angioedema, bronchospasm, or hypotension; immediate medical attention required.
• Cardiac arrhythmia – extremely rare, linked to high plasma concentrations; avoid overdose and drug interactions that inhibit hepatic metabolism.

Drug‑Drug Interactions

• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin) may increase mebeverine plasma levels; dose adjustment or alternative therapy should be considered.
• Anticholinergic agents (e.g., atropine) may potentiate antispasmodic effects, leading to excessive GI relaxation and constipation.
• Concurrent use with other antispasmodics is generally unnecessary and may increase adverse event risk without added benefit.

Patients should disclose all current medications, including over‑the‑counter products and herbal supplements, to their prescriber prior to initiating Colospa.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard adult dosing: 135 mg of mebeverine (one tablet) taken three times a day, preferably with meals to minimise gastrointestinal irritation.
• Missed dose: If a dose is forgotten, take it as soon as remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose; in that case, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not double‑dose.
• Overdose: Although mebeverine has a wide therapeutic index, ingestion of more than 540 mg (four tablets) may lead to pronounced smooth‑muscle relaxation, hypotension, and dizziness. Seek medical evaluation promptly; treatment is primarily supportive, with observation of vital signs.

Precautions:

• Avoid excessive alcohol, which can exacerbate gastrointestinal irritation.
• Use with caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment; dose reduction may be warranted.
• Food does not significantly affect absorption, but taking the tablet with a small amount of food may reduce stomach upset.
