Are all peppermint oil capsules the same?

[buffymad]

I get prescribed peppermint oil capsules from the docs for IBS. As I haven't been able to get there to collect my prescription this week, I'm just about to run out and thought I'd see what I could get from the chemist in the meantime. I know there's the ones you take 3 times a day, half an hour to an hour before food (like what I was taking), but Boots do their own brand which you only take once a day.

Do you think they'll be similar to what I've been taking or something different altogether? Don't want to waste money on something that's no good!!

ask the pharmacist

It matters not one "jot" as the active ingredient is the same.

Excellent Sqad, thank you!
