Drotaverine is an anti-spasmodic medicine which relieves contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles in the abdomen. Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Dro-M Tablet as it can cause excessive drowsiness and increase your risk of stomach problems. If you get diarrhea while taking this medicine, you should stop taking it and consult your doctor. Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney and liver function if you are taking this medicine for long-term treatment.
