Cyclopam-MF 10mg/250mg Tablet

Cyclopam MF 10mg/250mg Tablet is a combination medicine consisting of Dicyclomine and Mefenamic acid. It is primarily in the treatment of symptoms including dysmenorrhoea, abdominal pain and colicky pain.

Pain such as abdominal pain which occurs in the region between chest and pelvis, menstrual pain or dysmenorrhoea which are cramps during menstruation and colic which starts or stops abruptly are collectively relieved by this medicine.

Dicyclomine present in Cyclopam MF 10mg/250mg Tablet is an antispasmodic medicine which works to relieve the involuntary contractions involving smooth muscle cells of the abdominal region. Mefenamic acid blocks the chemical messenger i.e. cyclooxygenase enzyme that is responsible for the production of prostaglandins.

By doing so, the amount of prostaglandins is decreased in the body which leads to the reduction in pain and inflammation at any site of injury or damage. This medication must not be used in children younger than 6 months old and in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Before using this medication, inform your doctor if you have a history of :

Work

This medication is used to treat smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract which occurs due to irritable bowel syndrome. It blocks the acetylcholine receptors present on the smooth muscles thereby causing the muscles to relax. It also controls excessive secretion from not only stomach but also from bronchial, tracheal and pharyngeal muscles.
