Cholipan 20mg Injection

Cholipan 20mg Injection is used to relieve spasms of smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urogenital tract  (stomach, intestines, biliary tract, pancreas, and urinary tract).

Cholipan 20mg Injection contains ‘Hyoscine butylbromide’ that stops smooth muscle contractions by relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestine, and bladder. Thereby providing relief from cramps, discomfort, and pain.

Smooth muscle spasms: It is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include pain, bloating, and cramps. Irritable bowel syndrome, gas, constipation, and muscle strain could be the causes of gastrointestinal muscle spasms.
