DROTACHEK 80 15'S

About

DROTACHEK 80 15'S is an antispasmodic medication primarily used to relieve smooth muscle spasms in various organs. Its active ingredient, likely Drotaverine, works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), an enzyme that plays a role in smooth muscle contraction. By blocking PDE4, it increases intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, and biliary system. This action effectively reduces pain and discomfort caused by spasms, such as those associated with irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual cramps, kidney stones, or gallstones. DROTACHEK 80 provides targeted relief from spasmodic pain without affecting the central nervous system, making it a valuable option for managing acute and chronic conditions involving smooth muscle hyperactivity.
