Trimebutine

I have irritable bowel syndrome and end up with distended, miserable abdomen and the inability to go to the toilet at all. The first time I had this, I was living in France, diagnosed and treated with Debridat (Trimebutine) and Movicol (a stool softener). I was so happy to get rid of this miserable problem. Several times in the years I lived in Paris, I had to take this medicine, but always with excellent effect. Eventually, the maximum dose of Debridat per day (6 pills per day) had stopped being effective. Then, I discovered "graines de lin" made by Arkopharma, which you can buy in the pharmacy. That often works for irritable bowel-especially constipation prone, which was my case. For years, I used those little individually wrapped sachets 2 or 3 times a day with extraordinary ...

What is the closest equivalent to Trimebutine in the US? I have a close friend that was stabilized and had excellent results with Trimebutine. However he can't find it in Egypt anymore... Can he find an alternative in Egypt or in the states? He visits the states very often and he buys many of his medications in the US. ## Trimebutine belongs to the class of medications called spasmolytics; and is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (i.e. a spastic colon). It's a drug with antimuscarinic and weak mu-opioid agonist effects. In 'Amoun, Egypt' the brand name for Trimebutine is listed as "Gast Reg". However, I've yet to come across any specific details on a USA brand name, so hopefully he can locate Gast Reg in his area. Please post back if you find out any mor...

No, I'm sorry, but Trimebutine is not available in the U.S. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you find an equivalent. What condition are you wanting to treat with it?

I'm a pharmacist trying to identify some mexican drug names told to me by a patient. One was "Soltrim"...which I discovered was Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim ("Bactrim" in the USA). But I can't find what the trade names "Enzmat" and "Espabion" are. What are their generic names and what are they used for/classification? ## From what I can find, it is likely that your patient meant Anzemet, which contains the active ingredient Dolasetron, which is used to treat or prevent nausea and vomiting. Common side effects can include: headache, drowsiness, dizziness and diarrhea. You can learn more on it here: Espabion contains the active ingredient Trimebutine, it's an antimuscarinic, with partial opiate agonist effects, it is most commonly given to he...

muvett (trimebutine )

because the price is it trimebutine more coste-efect than otilonium bromide?

I was prescribed this med while in Mexico to alleve constipation of one week. BlueCross BlueShield Insurance says that "these services and supplies are not covered by the Retail Pharmacy Program". Is this an over-the-counter drug? or why were they able to deny coverage? ## Libertrim contains the active ingredient Trimebutine, which is used to treat various gastro-intestinal problems. My guess as to why they won't cover it would be because it is not an FDA approved medication and most U.S. based insurance companies will not cover medications that are not approved for use. Are there any other questions or comments?
