Eurax to Stop That Itch

What are abdominal Cramps?

Abdominal cramps are very different from period pain, indigestion and heartburn.

People who suffer from abdominal cramps often describe stabbing or sharp pains within the digestive tract which includes the stomach, small and large bowels.

What is the underlying cause?

The stomach, the intestines and the colon all have an outer layer of smooth muscle.

Using rhythmis, wave-like muscle contractions, known as peristalsis, food is gently squeezed, broken down and pushed along the digestive tract, usually without us feeling a thing.

The digestive tract, however, is very sensitive. Food, bacteria, stress or excitement van cause the movement of the smooth muscle along the digestive tract to become imbalanced, causing a spasm. When this happens the normally gentle, wave-like contractions can become strong painful cramps.

Symptoms cramps can occur along side include:

• Constipation
• Diarrhoea
• Abdominal Bloating
• Nausea
• Headache
• Flatulence
• Poor Appetite
• Bladder Problems

Triggers that can cause spasms:

• Diet or Changes to Diet
• Lifestyle Changes
• Stress
• Food Allergy or Intolerances
• Food Poisoning
• Gastro Viral Infections
• Overactivity of the Gut
• Hormonal Factors
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome

How can Buscopan Cramps Help?

Buscopan Cramps is specifically designed to treat the cause of abdominal cramps:

• It treats the spasm – the source of the abdominal pain.
• It contains butylbromide, which has an antispasmodic action, relaxing the cramping muscle of the stomach and bowel
• It acts locally in the gut to interrupt the signal from the brain which is telling the muscle to cramp. This helps the  uscle to relax, thus allowing the pain to fade and the digestive processes to return to normal.
• It does not cross the blood brain barrier or enter the central nervous system.

Buscopan Cramps are available at Pharmacy First for only £3.25 (RRP: £4.39).

Shulips are a new product to help women to avoid blisters and footpain associated with wearing shoes where the heel rubs.

They are different to everything else currently available on the market due to the unique way that they work. The rubber Shulip hook over the back of the shoe and stick firmly to the inside so that they will not slip off. This also adds further protection to the heel as it will not rub on the, sometimes hard, edge at the back of the shoe. Shulips are, therefore, perfect for new shoes and will be very effective will types of high heels and flat shoes.

Pharmacy First are amongst the first place to offer this revolutionary product and so far the response from customers have been excellent.
