How it works
Drotin A Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Drotaverine and Aceclofenac. Drotaverine is an anti-spasmodic medicine which relieves contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles in the abdomen. Aceclofenac 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).

Monitor your blood pressure regularly and rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Inform your doctor if you have severe kidney, liver or heart disease.
