Abstract

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, which is still a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Current scientific data in relation to pharmacotherapy suggest high effectiveness of antispasmodic treatment, e.g. mebeverine in combination with other prokinetic and reliever drugs used on an ad hoc basis and anxiolytics if necessary, not forgetting about individual diet and lifestyle modification. IBS is still a diagnostic challenge due to the dynamically changing clinical picture and interdisciplinarity of the disease, it is a diagnosis of exclusion, where the treatment is adjusted to the currently dominant symptoms.
