About OXYPHENONIUM BROMIDE
OXYPHENONIUM BROMIDE belongs to a class of drugs called 'antispasmodics' (spasm and cramps reliever) primarily used to treat and relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain and cramps associated with gastrointestinal (the stomach and intestines) disorders such as ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. Abdominal spasms or cramps frequently affect your digestive system, producing symptoms such as nausea, indigestion, and abdominal pain, even in cases where the pain originates elsewhere.
OXYPHENONIUM BROMIDE contains Oxyphenonium 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.

Most of these side effects of OXYPHENONIUM BROMIDE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
