Introduction
Spazof 10 mg/40 mg Suspension is a medication used to treat stomach pain, bloating, and abdominal cramps, as well as pain associated with excessive acidity, gas, infections, and gastrointestinal tract diseases. It relaxes the muscles of the gut and absorbs the extra gas. It is also used to control symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Directions for Use
Consult your doctor for proper usage and dosage.
How it works
Spazof 10 mg/40 mg Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Simethicone, 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 Simethicone disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
Quick Tips
Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting pain in your stomach. Give your child a diet that is rich in fiber and low in fermentable sugars. Avoid giving gas-producing foods to your child such as beans, onions, carrots, raisins, and bananas. Encourage your child to exercise daily as it has potential benefits in constipation and in improving overall wellbeing. In children less than 2 months of age, do not give Spazof 10 mg/40 mg Suspension without ruling out the reasons that might be making your child cry. Give Spazof 10 mg/40 mg Suspension only if your child shows actual signs of abdominal discomfort or pain after consulting your child’s doctor.
