1. What is Oleomint and what is it used for

Oleomint is a herbal medicine containing peppermint oil. The medicine helps restore normal bowel function by reducing muscle spasms in the intestinal wall. Oleomint is used for symptomatic treatment of moderate spasms of the gastrointestinal tract, bloating (gas) and abdominal pain, especially in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. The capsules of Oleomint have a protective coating that protects them from stomach acid, allowing the capsules to pass through the entire stomach and the initial part of the intestine. This enables the capsules to reach the further parts of the intestine, where the action of the medicine is desired. Only then is the peppermint oil released from the capsule. If after 7 to 14 days, there is no improvement or the patient feels worse, they should contact their doctor.

2. Important information before taking Oleomint

When not to take Oleomint:

  • if the patient is allergic to peppermint oil, menthol, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if the patient has liver disease, bile duct inflammation, gallstones, and other bile duct disorders;
  • in cases of a condition called "achlorhydria" (lack of stomach acid), which prevents proper digestion of food.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to take the medicine, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist if:

  • the patient already suffers from heartburn or a hiatal hernia, as these conditions may worsen when taking Oleomint. If symptoms of heartburn or hernia worsen, the patient should stop taking Oleomint;
  • the patient experiences any of the following symptoms for the first time: bloating, difficulty passing gas, or discomfort and pain in the intestinal area;
  • the patient is over 40 years old and has not had symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome for a long time or has different symptoms than before;
  • the patient has had gastrointestinal bleeding;
  • the patient has nausea or vomiting;
  • the patient has a decreased appetite or weight loss;
  • the patient is pale and tired;
  • the patient has severe constipation;
  • the patient has a high fever;
  • the patient has unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge;
  • the patient experiences pain or difficulty urinating;
  • the patient has recently traveled abroad;
  • the patient is pregnant or suspects they may be pregnant.

Capsules should be swallowed whole, not chewed, crushed, or taken with food, as this may cause premature release of peppermint oil, leading to local irritation of the mouth and throat.

Children

Oleomint is not recommended for children under 8 years old.

Oleomint and other medicines

The patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take, especially:

  • medicines used to reduce stomach acid (antacids, H2 receptor antagonists such as ranitidine, famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, pantoprazole), as they may cause premature release of the capsule contents;
  • medicines that are metabolized by the liver enzyme system called cytochrome P450 CYP3A4, such as: cyclosporine(used to prevent organ rejection after transplantation), felodipine(used to treat high blood pressure), lovastatin(used to lower cholesterol levels), ketoconazole(used to treat fungal infections), triazolam(used to treat insomnia). This interaction may lead to uncontrolled increased levels of the medicine in the blood and potentially serious side effects.

Oleomint with food, drink, and alcohol

No special studies have been conducted on the interaction of peppermint oil with alcohol. When taking Oleomint with alcohol, side effects may worsen. See also section 3.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If the patient is pregnant, breastfeeding, or suspects they may be pregnant, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. Oleomint is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is no data on the effect on fertility.

Driving and using machines

No studies have been conducted on the effect of the medicine on the ability to drive and use machines.

Oleomint contains sodium

The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per capsule, which means the medicine is considered "sodium-free".

3. How to take Oleomint

This medicine should always be taken exactly as described in the patient leaflet or as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, the patient should consult their doctor or pharmacist.

Adolescents over 12 years old, adults, elderly

1-2 capsules up to three times a day, depending on the severity of symptoms.

Children 8-12 years old

Oleomint is not recommended for children under 8 years old.

Renal impairment

Dosing has not been established in patients with renal failure.

Hepatic impairment

Oleomint should not be used in patients with liver disease.

Method of administration

The medicine is taken orally. Capsules should be taken before meals (30-60 minutes before a meal) with a small amount of water. Capsules should not be taken immediately after a meal. Capsules should be swallowed whole, not chewed or broken, as this may damage the special protective coating that prevents stomach acid from affecting the capsules, allowing them to reach the desired part of the intestine.

Duration of treatment

Oleomint should be used until symptoms disappear. However, if after 1 to 2 weeks, there is no improvement, the patient should consult their doctor, who may decide to continue treatment for up to three months.

Taking a higher dose of Oleomint than recommended

In case of taking a higher dose of the medicine than recommended, the patient should immediately consult their doctor or the hospital emergency department. Overdose may lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms, diarrhea, skin changes around the anus (anal ulceration), seizures, loss of consciousness, respiratory failure, nausea, and heart rhythm disturbances.

Missing a dose of Oleomint

In case of missing a dose, the patient should take the next dose at the usual time. The patient should not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose. If the patient has any further doubts about taking this medicine, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Oleomint can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. The following side effects may occur:

  • allergic reactions (rash, itching, or shortness of breath), anaphylactic shock (a severe allergic reaction causing shortness of breath, dizziness, significant decrease in blood pressure, and loss of consciousness);
