Alverine Citrate for Multiple Sclerosis
Gastrointestinal disorders
Alverine
I was prescribed alverine by my gastroenterologist while experiencing IBS type symptoms. I got the impression that I was a guinea pig and was trying this medication along with many others, albeit at separate times, just to see what may or may not work.
Alverine is a drug used for functional gastrointestinal disorders. Alverine is a smooth muscle relaxant. Smooth muscle is a type of muscle that is not under voluntary control; it is the muscle present in places such as the gut and uterus.
I certainly found that the pain I had been experiencing was diminished, but not hugely.
But, as I seemed to be the testing ground for IBS medication, I was soon moved on to something else.
I am not averse to being a guinea pig, if I can see some potential benefit at the end of it. However, in this case, after many months of trials, my gastroenterologist decided my problem and pain was neurological; in other words it was my MS. A case I had been arguing for since the outset of my IBS journey.
