About

ELDICET (Pinaverium bromide) is an antispasmodic medication primarily used for the treatment of functional bowel disorders, particularly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and symptomatic treatment of pain, transit disturbances, and abdominal discomfort associated with functional disorders of the biliary tract. It acts as a calcium channel blocker specifically targeting the smooth muscle cells of the gastrointestinal tract. By inhibiting the influx of calcium ions, it reduces the contractility of the intestinal smooth muscles without affecting vascular smooth muscle or cardiac function.

This selective action helps to alleviate abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, and altered bowel habits commonly experienced by individuals with IBS. Pinaverium bromide works locally in the gut, providing relief from spasms and hypermotility, thereby improving the overall quality of life for patients suffering from these chronic and often debilitating gastrointestinal conditions, offering targeted relief without systemic effects.
