Overview
Dicetel 100mg Tablet contains pinaverium bromide 100mg, a gut-selective calcium channel blocker used to relieve abdominal pain, cramping, and bowel disturbances associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal spasm disorders.
Pinaverium acts directly on the smooth muscle of the intestinal wall, reducing excessive muscle contractions (spasm) that cause cramping pain, without significantly affecting muscle activity elsewhere in the body.
How it Works
Pinaverium selectively blocks calcium channels on intestinal smooth muscle cells, reducing the influx of calcium needed for muscle contraction. This relaxes the overactive gut muscle responsible for spasm and cramping, while its very low systemic absorption limits effects outside the gastrointestinal tract.
Directions for Use
Swallow Dicetel 100mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water or other liquid during a meal – do not chew or crush the tablet. Avoid taking this medicine while lying down or just before going to bed, as it may cause local irritation if it does not pass quickly into the stomach.
