About

Drotaverine is a medication primarily used as an antispasmodic to relieve smooth muscle spasms in various conditions. It is commonly prescribed to treat gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colicky abdominal pain, and other digestive tract spasms. Drotaverine is also effective in alleviating spasms in the urinary tract, such as those caused by kidney stones or bladder infections. Additionally, it can be used to ease menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) and help with post-surgical pain or discomfort. It works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase, which helps relax smooth muscle and reduce spasms in affected areas.
