Menoctyl Tablet is used for the following:

• Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): This chronic condition of the large intestine causes symptoms like abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, and alterations in bowel habits.

Here's how you should take Menoctyl Tablet:

• Continue taking this medicine for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before stopping this medicine.

Menoctyl Tablet is taken orally.

Menoctyl Tablet contains otilonium bromide (40 mg). Here's how it works:

• Smooth muscle relaxation: Otilonium bromide acts on the smooth muscles of your digestive tract. By relaxing these muscles, it reduces the intensity and frequency of spasms in your intestines.

• Local effect: Otilonium bromide is poorly absorbed from your gastrointestinal tract after you take it orally. The portion of the medicine that isn't absorbed stays in your intestines, where it has a direct effect on the smooth muscles. This local effect helps manage IBS symptoms effectively.

• Extended effect: The elimination half-life of otilonium bromide is approximately 10 hours. This means it stays in your system for a while after you take it, providing extended relief from IBS symptoms over time.

• Store Menoctyl Tablet in a cool, dry place with a stable room temperature.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging until it's time to take it.

• Keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Since this medicine is used to manage irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), incorporating fibre into your diet can be beneficial. Foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may aid your digestive system.

• Regular physical activity can also help with managing IBS. Gentle exercises such as yoga or walking can improve bowel movements and reduce stress, which can exacerbate IBS symptoms.
