Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

DROTAVERINE-80MG + PARACETAMOL-500MG

Uses:

Treatment of Abdominal pain and cramps.

Medicinal Benefits:

Dropac Tablet consists of Drotaverine (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (pain killer). It relieves abdominal pain, and muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and gall bladder. Drotaverine works by reducing contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles of the abdomen. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevents the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Dropac Tablet helps in relieving abdominal pain and cramps.
