Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
You can buy IBS treatments from our registered online doctor and pharmacy. IBS is one of the most common conditions of the digestive system. 10-20% of people in the UK suffer from the condition to some degree. Symptoms include stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation. While some suffer only mild symptoms, IBS can become a very debilitating condition.
With Simple Online Pharmacy, our online doctor can prescribe treatments which include the anti-spasmodic Mebeverine. Mebeverine works on cell walls of your instetine to relax them, and prevent the painful spasms that can become such a problem in IBS.
Once you have completed the online doctor consultation, our doctor will review your assessment and prescribe the selected medication if it is approproate. Our pharmacy will then dispense and deliver your prescription to your door.
