Drotaverine 80 mg Tablets

Drotaverine 80 mg Tablets

Drotaverine belongs to a category of medicines called anti-spasmodic agents used to decrease and relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and gall bladder.

Drotaverine tablet contains ‘Drotaverine’, which helps by relaxing contractions that occur with smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, and urinary tract. This medicine also helps in relieving pain.

Drotaverine may also cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and vertigo (spinning sensation). Most of these side effects do not need any medicine and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Overview of Droarc-80 Tablets

DROARC-80 is a highly effective medication featuring Drotaverine Hydrochloride (80mg). It belongs to a class of drugs known as antispasmodics, which are specifically designed to relax the “involuntary” muscles that we cannot control, such as those in the stomach, intestines, and uterus.

This tablet targets the source of internal tension without affecting the skeletal muscles or the central nervous system. It is particularly valuable for individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), kidney stones (renal colic), or menstrual pain. By gently relaxing the muscle fibers, it ensures that your body returns to a state of ease, protecting you from the exhaustion and distress caused by chronic spasms.

Medical Effects of Drotaverine Tablet:-

Drotaverine tablet mainly relieves sudden muscle spasms or contractions in the stomach and intestine (gut), thereby relaxing the muscles and enhancing the movement of food. It also stops the chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain sensation. This helps to treat abdominal pain (or stomach pain) as well as cramps, bloating, and discomfort. Take Drotaverine tablets as directed by the doctor. This tablet will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active quality of life.

Product Specifications

• Brand Name: DROARC-80
• Active Ingredient: Drotaverine Hydrochloride IP (80mg)
• Packaging: 10×10 Tablets in high-quality blister strips
• Primary Focus: Smooth Muscle Relaxation and Colic Relief

The Targeted Antispasmodic Advantage

• Enzyme Inhibition: Drotaverine works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase IV (PDE4). By doing so, it increases the levels of a messenger (cAMP) inside the muscle cells that tells the muscle to “relax.”
• Calcium Regulation: It helps regulate the flow of calcium within muscle cells, which is essential for stopping the constant “clamping” sensation of a spasm.
• Rapid Absorption: DROARC-80 is designed to be absorbed quickly by the body, ensuring that relief reaches the site of pain shortly after consumption.
• Resulting Synergy: By acting directly on the muscle cells, it stops the physical cause of pain, providing a sense of relief that standard painkillers often cannot match.

Directions for Use

For the best results and to ensure your safety, DROARC-80 should be taken as follows:

• Consistent Schedule: Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, though taking it after a meal may be gentler for some.
• Whole Consumption: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet to ensure the 80mg dose is released correctly into your system
• Adherence: For chronic conditions like IBS, continue the medication for the full duration recommended by your healthcare provider to prevent the return of symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions 

1. Is Droarc-80 a general painkiller like paracetamol?
   No. While it relieves pain, it does so specifically by relaxing spasms in smooth muscles. It is much more effective for stomach and period cramps than a standard headache pill.

2. How soon will I feel the relief?
   Most patients experience a significant reduction in muscle tension and pain within 30 to 60 minutes of taking the tablet.

3. Can I take this for a regular muscle pull in my leg?
   No. Drotaverine only works on “smooth” (internal) muscles. For “skeletal” muscles like those in your legs or back, a different type of muscle relaxant is usually required.

4. What should I do if I miss a dose?
   Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Never take two tablets at once.

5. Does it cause sleepiness?
   Unlike some other antispasmodics, Drotaverine does not usually cause drowsiness, making it easier to go about your daily activities.

6. Can I take this for a stomach infection (diarrhea)?
   It will help with the painful cramps associated with the infection, but you may still need an antibiotic or other treatment to clear the infection itself.
