How Avitaspas-M Tablet Works
Avitaspas-M Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients that work synergistically to relieve abdominal pain and discomfort:
- Drotaverine is an anti-spasmodic that targets and relieves spasms in the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines, thus reducing abdominal cramping and discomfort.
- Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation by blocking the release of chemical messengers in the brain (prostaglandins) that are responsible for pain and swelling.
Together, these medications help to relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms, and improve overall comfort in cases of abdominal discomfort.
