I think they're better for IBS, in that they've totally prevented spasms for me, and for menstrual cramps they help (but don't totally stop the cramps cold).
I'd start with one cap a day, and see how you do. They're very strong - you can then go up to two day, and then three, but you might not need to.
They work best as a preventative, since they take about an hour to reach your intestines to dissolve. For immediate help with spasms, peppermint tea is great because it works instantly. You can use both - they're good together because while the tea works faster, the caps are stronger.
