Fybogel Mebeverine sachets are a medicine prescribed by doctors for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Many people experience abdominal pains, bloating, and other bowel upsets from time to time. The symptoms usually come and go but can be severe and distressing.
Fybogel is a natural fibre from Ispaghula husks. Mebeverine is an antispasmodic. The combination of the two in sachets makes it easier to go to the toilet and reduces spasm. These prescription medicines are available online from Dr Fox pharmacy.
Taking Mebeverine Fybogel is simple. Sachets are mixed with water and taken twice a day before food. An extra dose in the middle of the day can also be taken if required. It may be necessary to take the sachets regularly for a few days or weeks, but they are not normally needed all the time. Symptoms should have settled within two weeks.
Fybogel Mebeverine is gentle treatment and unlikely to cause side effects. The dual action sachets add fibre to the diet and sooth the tummy. Read in full
A private prescription is like any other prescription for medication written by a doctor, except that private prescriptions are not funded by the NHS.
Private prescriptions are written by doctors in private practice, and by NHS doctors for medication which the NHS will not pay for.
The NHS does not fund travel medication, such as malaria tablets, and restricts quantities of some other medicines. The NHS will usually fund a supply of generic drugs only to treat male impotence. Read in full

Viagra was developed and is marketed by the Pfizer pharmaceutical company and has been available for use since 1998. The active ingredient is Sildenafil citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor, which increases the flow of blood to the penis to aid men suffering from erectile dysfunction (impotence) achieve and maintain an erection.
Since it was introduced to the market in 1998 the rise of Viagra has been a worldwide phenomenon, helping millions of men suffering from erectile dysfunction and also spawning similar drugs and many third world counterfeit suppliers.
It was the drug that transformed the sexual landscape. Before Viagra, impotence meant shame and often the collapse of all but the most committed relationships. The discovery of its startling ability to restore men’s faded sexual function triggered a social revolution as monumental as that caused by the contraceptive pill.
The Dr Fox online clinic featured in a widely seen press article in 2010. The journalist, Maria Cheng of Associated Press, has done excellent research on online medicine.
In the UK Malarone is a prescription only medicine. This means Malarone tablets are not available without a prescription, except from some pharmacists using ‘patient group directions’ (a form of exception for the need for a prescription). Most pharmacists still require a prescription before Malarone can be supplied.
Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists with specialist travel medicine training, write the prescriptions. Usually there is a charge of between £10.00 to £25.00 for writing a prescription. The cost is set by the prescriber.
Dr Fox provides Malarone tablets at a low cost. Prices shown on the Dr Fox malaria tablets page.

Malarone and atovaquone/proguanil are medically the same. A generic product called Maloff Protect (atovaquone/proguanil) is available to buy without prescription from a pharmacy, and is also supplied by Dr Fox on prescription. Read in full
