Medicine Description spasmin 10mg
Spasmin 10 mg suppositories is a medication that contains mebeverine, a smooth muscle relaxant specifically designed to target the gastrointestinal tract. It acts by inhibiting the calcium influx into smooth muscle cells, leading to a decrease in muscle contractions. This mechanism allows for the relaxation of the intestinal muscles, alleviating spasms associated with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and similar gastrointestinal disorders. By preventing the overactivity of the gut muscles, mebeverine effectively reduces abdominal discomfort and pain without influencing normal bowel motility.
