About Obgram 40 Tablet

OTILONIUM BROMIDE belongs to a class of drugs called 'antispasmodics' (spasm and cramps reliever) primarily used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal conditions characterised by motility problems, painful bowel spasms and distension (swelling and bloating in the belly area). Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disease that affects the large intestine. IBS is also known as spastic colon, irritable colon, spastic colitis, and mucous colitis. Irritable bowel syndrome is a group of intestinal symptoms that occur together.

OTILONIUM BROMIDE contains Otilonium bromide, an antispasmodic that works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the intestine. Thus, it provides relief from painful muscle spasms and reduces stomach pain caused by spasm, cramps, and gas formation, bloating, and discomfort.
