Spasmol Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Dicyclomine, Dextropropoxyphene and Paracetamol. Dicyclomine is an anti-cholinergic which relaxes the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine) and stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms). By doing this, it relieves cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Dextropropoxyphene is a opioid analgesic (pain reliever). It works by decreasing the perception of pain by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-pyretic (fever reducer) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause fever and pain.

Spasmol Tablet is used for the treatment of abdominal pain. Always use Spasmol Tablet as instructed by your doctor. Never take in greater amounts or more often than prescribed. Do not take any other medicines containing Paracetamol in it without consulting your doctor. Store Spasmol Tablet in a safe place and out of reach of others.
