Drotikind M Tablet
Drotikind M Tablet 10’s is a combination medicine used to treat abdominal pain, muscle pain, migraine headache, functional bowel disorders, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), heavy bleeding during periods, renal colic pain, and pain after surgery. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable.
Drotikind M Tablet 10’s is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine (anti-spasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Drotaverine works by reducing calcium reuptake by the cells, thereby correcting the body’s calcium levels and relieves contractions associated with smooth muscles. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins (PG). By blocking COX enzymes’ effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Drotikind M Tablet 10’s helps in relieving pain.
Take Drotikind M Tablet 10’s with food to prevent stomach upset. Swallow Drotikind M Tablet 10’s as a whole with a glass of water; do not chew, or break the tablet.
