DROTIN DS SUSP 100ML

About

Drotin DS Suspension contains Drotaverine, a potent antispasmodic agent specifically designed to relieve smooth muscle spasms in various organs. Drotaverine acts by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), which leads to an increase in cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels within smooth muscle cells. This biochemical cascade results in the relaxation of smooth muscles, thereby alleviating pain and discomfort caused by spasms. The 'DS' in Drotin DS typically indicates a 'Double Strength' formulation, providing a more concentrated dose for effective relief. It is particularly effective in conditions involving spasms of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, and biliary tract. Its direct action on smooth muscles makes it a preferred choice for symptomatic relief of spasmodic pain without significant anticholinergic side effects often associated with other antispasmodics, offering targeted and efficient relief.
