Composition

Dicyclomine (10 Mg) + Mefenamic Acid (250 Mg)

Biospas Plus Tablet 10 is a medicine used primarily for managing menstrual pain, cramps, and abdominal discomfort. It's a combination medicine comprising two active ingredients, both of which belong to different classes of medication: anticholinergic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs).

This medicine provides relief from menstrual cramps and helps manage abdominal pain and cramping associated with various gastrointestinal disorders. It effectively reduces muscle spasms in the stomach and intestines that cause discomfort and pain.

Before starting on this medication, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions or ongoing medicines to avoid potential complications. Should you experience any side effects while on this medication, report them to your doctor immediately. Remember, for best results, continue taking it for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Biospas Plus Tablet 10 is used to treat abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and colicky pain. It effectively manages menstrual pain and cramps, also known as primary dysmenorrhea, and provides relief from abdominal pain and cramps associated with gastrointestinal disorders.

Biospas Plus Tablet 10 consists of two key components:

Dicyclomine (10 mg): As an anticholinergic medicine, dicyclomine relaxes the smooth muscles in your gastrointestinal tract, uterus, and bile ducts. It achieves this by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions. This action helps alleviate cramps, bloating, and discomfort.
Mefenamic Acid (250 mg): This NSAID works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins - chemical messengers that trigger pain and inflammation. By curbing prostaglandin production, mefenamic acid effectively reduces menstrual cramps and abdominal pain.
