Mespas 20mg/500mg/250mg Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Dicyclomine, Paracetamol and Mefenamic Acid which relieve abdominal pain. Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic that relaxes stomach and gut muscles, stopping sudden muscle contractions (spasms) and relieving cramps, pain, bloating and discomfort. Paracetamol is an antipyretic (fever reducer) and Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation.
