Anaspas Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Camylofin and Diclofenac which relieve abdominal pain and cramps. Camylofin is an anticholinergic which relaxes the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving cramps and pain. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).

Anaspas Tablet is used to give relief from abdominal cramps and pain. It is best to take it when the first sign of pain occurs. Taking it with a glass of milk or after eating some food can help to reduce side effects such as indigestion. Inform your doctor if you have a history of asthma before taking Anaspas Tablet.
