Dispasm D Tablet

Dispasm D Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with intestinal colic, biliary colic, renal colic and spasmodic dysmenorrhoea (menstrual cramps). Additionally, Dispasm D Tablet is also used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, backache, strain, and sprain. 
 
Dispasm D Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol and Dicyclomine. Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Dicyclomine works by relieving contractions associated with the smooth muscles of the abdomen. Together, Dispasm D Tablet helps in providing relief from pain.
 
You are advised to take Dispasm D Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Dispasm D Tablet may cause common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Dispasm D Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Dispasm D Tablet should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Dispasm D Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects.

Dispasm D Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Diclofenac (NSAID), Paracetamol (Analgesic) and Dicyclomine (Anti-cholinergic). Dispasm D Tablet is used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with intestinal colic, biliary colic, renal colic and spasmodic dysmenorrhoea (menstrual cramps). Additionally, Dispasm D Tablet is also used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, backache, strain, and sprain. Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins which are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Dicyclomine works by relieving contractions associated with the smooth muscles of the abdomen. Together, Dispasm D Tablet helps in providing relief from abdominal spasms.

Abdominal pain and cramps: Abdominal pain occurs between the chest and pelvic region, generally known as stomach or tummy pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm 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. The common causes of abdominal pain include inflammation, infections, intestinal disorders and obstruction/blockage. Abdominal pain could be generalised, localised, cramps or colicky pain.

Musculoskeletal pain: Musculoskeletal pain affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments. Symptoms of musculoskeletal pain include stiffness, swelling, redness, weakness, muscle spasms or twitching, trouble moving the affected area, and soreness.
