Medicine Description spasmocure 60mg
Spasmocure 60 mg tablets is a medication that combines two active ingredients: drotaverine and paracetamol. Drotaverine is an antispasmodic agent that acts by inhibiting phosphodiesterase IV, leading to increased levels of cyclic AMP in smooth muscle cells. This relaxation effect on the smooth muscles reduces spasms in the gastrointestinal tract and reproductive system. Paracetamol, on the other hand, is an analgesic and antipyretic that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and fever. Together, these components effectively alleviate pain associated with muscle spasms.
