Pakmine 30mg Injection is used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It contains Dicyclomine, also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. It blocks the activity of acetylcholine (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells) by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps relax smooth muscles and inhibits natural gut movements. Thus, it prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestine.
