PepGram Softgel Capsules

What is PepGram Softgel Capsules?

PepGram Softgel Capsules contain enteric‑coated peppermint oil, a plant‑derived oil traditionally used to support digestive comfort. The softgels are designed to release peppermint oil in the intestine rather than the stomach, which helps target bowel spasms while reducing strong minty after‑taste or reflux.​

Doctors may include PepGram Softgel Capsules with peppermint oil in the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional digestive disorders. The product is part of Ingram BioSciences’ gastro‑hepato care portfolio and is intended for adult use under medical guidance.​

Key Benefits PepGram Softgel Capsules (Peppermint Oil)

• Helps relieve IBS‑related abdominal pain, cramping, bloating and discomfort by relaxing smooth muscles in the gut.​

• Supports healthy digestion and reduces sensations of gas and fullness after meals when used as part of a broader IBS or dyspepsia plan.​

• Enteric‑coated peppermint oil softgels minimise release in the stomach, which may reduce heartburn and allow targeted action in the intestine.​

Uses & Indications PepGram Softgel Capsules

PepGram Softgel Capsules with peppermint oil are generally used for:​

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) presenting with abdominal cramps, bloating and altered bowel habits.​

• Functional abdominal pain and intestinal spasms not linked to structural disease, as assessed by a doctor.​

• Supportive relief of digestive discomfort and gas after meals, alongside diet and lifestyle measures.​

The capsules provide symptomatic relief and should be part of an overall management plan, not a substitute for medical evaluation in serious or alarm symptoms.​

Dosage & Directions PepGram Softgel Capsules

The exact regimen should follow your doctor’s advice and the product label. Typical adult directions for enteric‑coated peppermint oil capsules are:​

• One softgel capsule two to three times daily, taken about 30–60 minutes before meals, or as directed by a physician.​

• Swallow the softgel whole with water; do not crush or chew, as this may destroy the enteric coating.​

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose; never take two capsules together to compensate.​

Price & Packaging PepGram Softgel Capsules

PepGram is marketed by Ingram BioSciences Pvt Ltd as strips of 10 gastro‑resistant softgel capsules.​

• Online listings show MRPs around ₹180–₹230 per strip, with actual selling prices varying by platform, offers and taxes.​

• Blister strips are packed in cartons labelled with strength, composition and storage instructions for pharmacies and clinics.​

Always check batch number, manufacturing date and expiry date on the strip before use.​

Side Effects & Safety PepGram Softgel Capsules

Peppermint oil is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, but some people may experience side effects. Reported reactions include:​

• Mild heartburn, peppermint taste or reflux, especially if the capsule coating is damaged or taken soon after antacids.​

• Nausea, stomach discomfort or diarrhoea in sensitive individuals.​

• Rare allergic reactions such as rash, mouth irritation or breathing difficulty in people sensitive to menthol or mint oils.​

Stop the capsules and seek medical advice if you notice severe heartburn, chest pain, allergic symptoms or worsening abdominal complaints.​

Precautions & Contraindications PepGram Softgel Capsules

• Do not use PepGram Softgel Capsules if you are allergic to peppermint oil or any excipient in the formulation.​

• People with severe liver disease, gallbladder problems, hiatal hernia, or gastro‑esophageal reflux may need extra caution or alternative options; discuss with a gastroenterologist.​

• Use is generally not recommended in children unless a specialist advises it.​

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use peppermint oil capsules if clearly recommended by a healthcare professional, as human data are limited.​

Avoid taking antacids at the same time as PepGram, because they can cause premature breakdown of the enteric coating and increase heartburn risk.​

10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is PepGram Softgel Capsules used for?
Doctors use PepGram Softgel Capsules with peppermint oil to help relieve IBS‑related abdominal cramps, bloating and digestive discomfort.​

2. How does peppermint oil help IBS?
Peppermint oil acts as a smooth‑muscle relaxant in the intestine, which reduces spasms and pain in many IBS patients.​

3. When should I take PepGram capsules?
Most guidance suggests taking enteric‑coated peppermint oil capsules 30–60 minutes before meals, two to three times daily, unless your doctor advises differently.​

4. How long does it take to work?
Many patients feel some relief within a few days, with greater benefit over 2–4 weeks of regular use.​

5. Can PepGram Softgel Capsules cause heartburn?
Heartburn or reflux can occur, especially if you chew the capsule or take it with antacids; swallowing the capsule whole on an empty stomach reduces this risk.​

6. Is PepGram safe with other IBS medicines?
Peppermint oil can often be combined with antispasmodics or fibre supplements, but any combination should be reviewed by your doctor to avoid overlapping effects.​

7. Can I use PepGram Softgel Capsules long term?

8. Is PepGram Softgel Capsules habit‑forming?
No, peppermint oil capsules are not habit‑forming, but they should still be used according to medical advice.​

9. What should I avoid while taking PepGram?
Avoid chewing the capsules and avoid taking antacids at the same time; also limit trigger foods that worsen IBS, such as very fatty or spicy meals, as advised by your doctor.​

10. When should I see a doctor urgently?
Seek immediate care for new or severe symptoms such as weight loss, blood in stool, fever, persistent vomiting or intense abdominal pain, as these may indicate conditions other than IBS.​

Quick Tips

• Take PepGram Softgel Capsules at the same time each day, before meals, to maintain consistent symptom control.​

• Combine peppermint oil therapy with IBS lifestyle measures such as stress management, regular meals and trigger‑food tracking.​

• Do not self‑treat severe or changing gut symptoms; always involve a healthcare professional.​
