MANSPAS TABLET

MANSPAS TABLET is a combination drug primarily used in the treatment of spasmodic pain and discomfort due to biliary colic, intestinal colic, renal colic and spasmodic dysmenorrhea (painful irregular periods). It also helps alleviate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Colic is the intensive and uncontrollable crying in the babies for a prolonged period for no certain reason. Dysmenorrhea (Abdominal cramps) is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with irregular periods. It occurs just before or during menses. Irritable bowel syndrome is an intestinal disorder that causes stomach pain, wind, constipation, and diarrhoea.

MANSPAS TABLET is composed of two medicines: Dicyclomine (antispasmodic/anticholinergic agent) and Paracetamol (analgesic). Dicyclomine/Dicycloverine helps in blocking the activity of certain natural substances that are responsible to cause pain. Paracetamol has both analgesic (pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) properties, which also decreases inflammation.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of MANSPAS TABLET include experience dizziness, nausea (feeling sick), digestion problems like constipation, flatulence, diarrhoea, and skin reactions like rashes, hives. Most of the side effects of MANSPAS TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

MANSPAS TABLET is composed of two medicines namely: Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer). MANSPAS TABLET helps relieve spasmodic pain and discomfort due to biliary colic, intestinal colic, renal colic, and spasmodic dysmenorrhea (painful irregular menses/periods). Dicyclomine helps in blocking the activity of certain natural substances in the body responsible for causing pain.
