About Drotin Plus Tablet

Drotin Plus Tablet belongs to the class of medicine called 'antispasmodic' combined with a painkiller, used to reduce and relieve abdominal pain and muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and gall bladder. Abdominal (tummy) pain occurs between your chest and pelvic region (below the belly button and leg). 

Drotin Plus Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (pain killer). Drotaverine works by relieving contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles of the abdomen. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevent the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Drotin Plus Tablet helps in relieving abdominal pain and cramps.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of Drotin Plus Tablet include dry mouth, feeling thirsty, and dizziness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have any liver, heart or kidney diseases and alcohol dependency before taking Drotin Plus Tablet . Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding before taking Drotin Plus Tablet . Drotin Plus Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Drotin Plus Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness and risk of liver damage. Drotin Plus Tablet should not be given to children below one year of age as safety has not been established.
