Can I take 40 and Mebeverine together?

Why this happens

These medicines work in different ways and do not interfere with how the body absorbs, breaks down, or removes either drug. Paracetamol is a painkiller that works on the central nervous system, while mebeverine is an antispasmodic that works directly on the muscles in the gut to help them relax.

It is safe to take these two medicines together. However, it is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol when taking paracetamol, as combining them increases the risk of liver damage. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging for both medicines.
