Spasmorest 10 Mg Tablets

Spasmorest 10 Mg Tablets

Description:

Spasmorest 10 mg tablets are an oral antispasmodic prescription medicine containing dicyclomine, used to relieve painful smooth muscle spasms of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. By blocking muscarinic (cholinergic) receptors, Spasmorest helps relax intestinal and abdominal smooth muscles, reducing cramping, colicky pain, and discomfort commonly associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other spastic conditions. Manufactured by Misr, this product is intended for adult use under medical supervision to manage functional bowel disorders and related abdominal spasms.

Indications:

• Management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional bowel disorders associated with smooth muscle spasm.
• Relief of colicky abdominal pain due to gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasm.
• Adjunctive treatment in conditions with increased gastrointestinal motility and cramping, as directed by a physician.
• May be used in genitourinary tract spasm and related colicky pain, according to physician recommendation.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Dicyclomine hydrochloride – 10 mg per tablet.
• Other excipients: Full list of inactive ingredients is not available in the provided information; please refer to the package insert for complete details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults (typical dosing for dicyclomine): 80 mg per day in 4 divided doses (i.e., 20 mg four times daily), taken 30–60 minutes before meals, as directed by a physician.
• Dose may be increased, if needed and tolerated, up to 160 mg per day in 4 divided doses after approximately 1 week, strictly under medical supervision.

Clinical Benefits:

• Reduces intestinal smooth muscle spasm, helping to relieve cramping and colicky abdominal pain.
