In vitro smdies on animal and human subjects regarding the effect of bacosides on gastrointestinal tract showed that they may have a positive effect on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Experiments showed that it has a direct spasmolytic effect on intestinal smooth muscle. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 169 patients with IBS was done for both standard therapy (clidinium bromide, chlordiazepoxide, and psyllium) and Bacopa extract. Subjects were divided into five subgroups based on type of IBS and randomly assigned to standard drug treatment, BME therapy, or placebo for 6 weeks (5 g of each drug administered orally thrice daily). It was exposed that standard drug therapy is better than BME, except in IBS patients with dianhea [52]. [Pg.3656]
