Can Mebeverine Be Given To A Child For Biliary Colic?

Hi, My 10 year old son is in agony in all likelyhood with gallstones, confrimed by two GPs, ultrasound pending.. myself and my mother had gallstones removed in our childhood years, which is why we are fairly certain about him having gallstones. He currently takes codeinphosphate and ibopofen and paracetamol as painkillers (which all do not appear to work). We now suggested him also being described mebeverine which he takes. Is this commonly used for dealing with spasms? can it be recommended for kids...

Hi,

Yes, this is a very good antispasmodic and can be used in kids. Also, make some dietary changes for your child as gallstone pain is initiated by fatty meals, thereby fried fatty meals are to be decreased.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
