About

Pinaverium bromide is a highly selective spasmolytic agent primarily used to manage symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional bowel disorders. Its therapeutic action is exerted directly on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. Pinaverium works by selectively blocking the influx of calcium ions into intestinal smooth muscle cells, a process critical for muscle contraction. By inhibiting these voltage-dependent calcium channels, it effectively reduces the frequency and intensity of intestinal spasms and contractions without affecting vascular smooth muscle or cardiac function. This localized action helps to alleviate abdominal pain, discomfort, and altered bowel habits characteristic of IBS. As it is minimally absorbed into the systemic circulation, pinaverium bromide offers a targeted effect within the gut, minimizing systemic side effects and providing effective symptomatic relief for patients with functional gastrointestinal disturbances.
