Benefits of Mecyclo Syrup for your child

In Treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic (long-term) inflammatory disease of the large intestine (colon) that usually needs long-term management. This can lead to bleeding, frequent diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, cramps, and stomach pain. Mecyclo Syrup relaxes the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine) and relieves these symptoms effectively. Usually, it is used as an add-on medicine along with other medicines which are given for the management of your child’s condition. Continue giving it to your child for as long as the doctor may advise you to.

In Treatment of Abdominal pain

Mecyclo Syrup effectively relieves sudden muscle spasms or contractions in the stomach and intestine (gut), thereby relaxing the muscles and improving movement of food. It also blocks chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain sensation. This helps to treat abdominal pain (or stomach pain) as well as cramps, bloating and discomfort. It also helps you to pass gas easily and relieves flatulence. Take Mecyclo Syrup as prescribed to get maximum benefit. Eventually, it will enhance your daily activities and you will have an improved quality of life.
