Himospasmine Oral Drops is used for reducing stomach pain due to spasms, cramps and bloating. It contains Dicyclomine and Dimethicone, which reduces spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing the sensation of pain. Also, it treats bloating and releases stomach gas more efficiently. Thus, it helps reduce muscle contractions and pain by acting on the intestine's inner lining, allowing gas bubbles to come together, relieving cramps and spasms. It may cause common side effects such as dryness in the mouth, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, sleepiness, and nausea. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
