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.

Managing menstrual pain and cramps, also known as primary dysmenorrhea
Providing relief from abdominal pain and cramps encountered in gastrointestinal disorders

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Biospas Plus Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Abdominal Discomfort: If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach after taking this medicine, it might help to take it after eating a meal.

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.
