GelClinical Overview
Jan Pudina Soft Gel Capsules (Peppermint Oil / Menthol formulation) is a natural herbal carminative and antispasmodic on the PMBI formulary. Menthol, the active terpene of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita), selectively blocks voltage-gated L-type calcium channels on gastrointestinal smooth muscle cells, exerting direct smooth muscle relaxation and spasmolysis on the stomach and colonic wall. It relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter to facilitate gas evacuation and acts as a mild choleretic. Indicated for relief of gas bloating, indigestion, flatulence, abdominal distension, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cramping.

Usage Guidelines
Take orally 1 to 2 capsules with a glass of water after meals or at the onset of gas/indigestion. Swallow whole; do NOT chew or bite the softgel, as chewing releases menthol in the mouth and esophagus, causing severe heartburn and retrosternal burning.
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Mild belching with a cooling minty taste, mild heartburn (due to LES relaxation), perianal burning. Extremely safe natural carminative.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Over-The-Counter carminative softgels. Swallow whole with water; do not chew. Patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or hiatal hernia should use with caution as lower esophageal sphincter relaxation can exacerbate acid reflux.
