About DP-Spas Tablet

DICYCLOMINE+DICLOFENAC is a combination drug primarily used to treat Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and abdominal cramps occurring due to dysmenorrhea (painful irregular periods). Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disease that affects the large intestine. Signs and symptoms involve abdominal pain, cramping, gas, bloating and constipation or diarrhea, or both. IBS is a chronic condition that you will require to manage long-term. Dysmenorrhea (Menstrual cramps) are throbbing, aching cramps you get in your lower belly just before and during your period.

DICYCLOMINE+DICLOFENAC is composed of two medicines: Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and Diclofenac (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) which relieves abdominal pain and cramps. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine). It prevents sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thus, relieving cramps, bloating, pain and discomfort. On the other hand, Diclofenac works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that lead to inflammation (swelling) and abdominal pain. Together, they effectively reduce pain.
