About Dimace M Tablet

Dimace M Tablet is a combination drug primarily used to reduce abdominal pain caused by Intestinal colic, Biliary colic, Renal colic, Dysmenorrhea, Pancreatitis, etc. The colic pain could be caused by spasms or obstructions of the intestinal, biliary, or uterine smooth muscles. The clinical presentation of spasm could be acute, subacute or chronic in nature. These cramps can range from mild to severe.

Dimace M Tablet comprises two medicines: Camylofin (antispasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (analgesic). Mefenamic acid is an NSAID with analgesic (pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) properties and decreases inflammation. It blocks a chemical messenger in pain that is responsible for making a person sense pain. Camylofin is an anti-cholinergic which relaxes the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine) and stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms). Doing this relieves cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Together, they effectively reduce pain.
