Description:
Drotaverine Hydrochloride 40mg is an antispasmodic medication used to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, urinary tract, and uterus. It works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase IV enzyme, which increases cyclic AMP levels, resulting in muscle relaxation. Unlike atropine derivatives, Drotaverine does not have anticholinergic side effects, making it safe for use in patients with glaucoma or prostatic hypertrophy.
This medication is commonly used for abdominal pain, menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), renal colic, biliary colic, and spastic constipation.
