Here's how to administer Decolic Injection:

• The injection should be given by a healthcare professional only.

• For specific advice on how frequently you should receive this medicine, it's best to consult your doctor.

Decolic Injection is administered intramuscularly.

Decolic Injection comprises Drotaverine (40 mg). The mode of action of this component is as follows:

• Phosphodiesterase Inhibition: Drotaverine inhibits an enzyme known as phosphodiesterase in your body. This enzyme affects the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a molecule that plays a role in muscle contractions.

• Muscle Relaxation: By inhibiting phosphodiesterase, drotaverine increases cAMP levels. Higher cAMP levels lead to relaxation of the smooth muscles, such as those found in the gut.

• Pain Relief: As a result of muscle relaxation, painful spasms or contractions in the gut are reduced, which helps manage abdominal pain.

• Store Decolic Injection in a cool and dry place, ideally below 25 degrees Celsius.

• Keep this medicinal product away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Do not freeze.

• Ensure that it is out of reach of children at all times.

• Always check the expiry date before administering the medicine.

• If you're using Decolic Injection to manage abdominal pain due to spasms, try including fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet. These can help promote smooth bowel movements and reduce cramping.

• Regular physical activity can also aid digestion and alleviate symptoms. Try to incorporate moderate exercises such as walking or yoga into your daily routine.
