How it works
Spasten Oral Drops is a mixture of two active medicines Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Dimethicone, an antifoaming medicine. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms) thereby relieving abdominal cramps and pain. Whereas the antifoaming medicine disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
