About Doverin-A Tablet 10’s
Doverin-A Tablet 10’s belongs to the class of medicine called ‘Antispasmodic’ in combination with a painkiller, used to reduce and relieve abdominal pain and cramps. Abdominal (tummy) pain occurs between your chest and pelvic region (below the belly button and leg). Stomach cramps can be due to bloating (trapped wind), diahhorea, kidney stones, stomach ulcer, appendicitis or other gastrointestinal conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Doverin-A Tablet 10’s is a combination of two drugs, namely: Drotaverine (antispasmodic) and Aceclofenac (pain killer). Drotaverine works by relieving contractions associated with smooth muscles of the abdomen. Aceclofenac works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical ”prostaglandins” (PG) produced at injury sites and cause pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Doverin-A Tablet 10’s helps in relieving abdominal pain and cramps.
