All Day, All Night... Donnatal Extentabs (Belladonna Alkaloids with Phenobarbital)

Donnatal Extentabs are an extended release, combination antispasmodic therapy with a history of over 30 years of use.

More than 40,000 patient days per year have been prescribed by physicians in the antispasmodic category of therapy since 1991. ²

Of all the options available in this type of therapy, only Donnatal Extentabs provide gradual dissolution over 12 hours, distinctively longer than immediate release tablets. ³

The Benefits of Extended Release

The nighttime benefit afforded by extended release is important to IBS sufferers whose symptoms occurring through the night prevent a full night's rest. Without proper rest at night, quality of life may be affected as well as the ability to be productive in school or in the workplace.
