About Hyokem 20mg Injection

Hyokem 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).

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.
