Overview
Apercap Peppermint Oil is a gastro-resistant capsule used to relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works as a smooth muscle relaxant that eases muscle spasms by relaxing the overacting gut muscles and allowing them to contract less frequently. This helps relieve bowel discomfort and abdominal cramps.
Apercap peppermint oil comes in a packet of 84 capsules. It is an over-the-counter medicine and can easily be bought.

Directions
Apercap Peppermint oil capsule is suitable for use in adults over the age of 18 years including the elderly. This medicine should only be taken when required or when the symptoms start to worsen. Continue taking the medicine for about 1-2 weeks or until the symptoms resolve and your IBS settles down.
Take 1 capsule thrice a day or as advised by your doctor. Make sure to take the capsule almost an hour before meals as Peppermint oil capsules should not be taken immediately after food.
