Spasmorest 20 Mg Tablets

Spasmorest 20 Mg Tablets

Description:

Spasmorest 20 mg tablets are an oral antispasmodic prescription medicine containing dicyclomine, designed to relieve painful smooth muscle spasms in 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 medicine is intended for adult use under medical supervision to support better digestive comfort and control abdominal spasms.

Indications:

• Management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and irritable colon associated with abdominal cramps, bloating, and intestinal spasms.
• Relief of colicky abdominal pain due to gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasm.
• Adjunctive treatment in conditions with increased gastrointestinal motility and spasticity, as directed by a physician.
• May be used in genitourinary smooth muscle spasm and related colicky pain, according to medical advice.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Dicyclomine hydrochloride – 20 mg per tablet.
• Other inactive ingredients/excipients: Not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) (please refer to the package insert for full excipient list).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults (oral): Typical total daily dose is 80 mg per day, usually given as 20 mg four times daily (every 6 hours), 30–60 minutes before meals, or as directed by the physician.
• Depending on the patient’s response and tolerability, the dose may be increased by the physician up to a maximum of 160 mg per day in 4 divided doses after approximately 1 week, if needed.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Can be taken with or without food; however, taking it 30–60 minutes before meals is commonly recommended for optimal antispasmodic effect.

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps relieve abdominal cramps and colicky pain by relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscles.
