Abdominal pain
Camylofin + Diclofenac is an antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory combination.
Camylofin is an anticholinergic medicine. It works by inhibiting the effects of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that can lead to muscle spasms. By doing this, Camylofin helps alleviate cramps in various parts of your body like your stomach, bladder and female reproductive organs.
Diclofenac, on the other hand, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID). It functions by blocking the action of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme helps in the production of chemicals called prostaglandins, which cause pain, inflammation and fever. By inhibiting this enzyme, Diclofenac reduces these symptoms.
In combination, Camylofin + Diclofenac help to manage pain and spasms in various abdominal, pelvic and musculoskeletal conditions.
