Drotaverine + Diclofenac

Drotaverine + Diclofenac is a combination medicine widely used to relieve pain caused by muscle spasms and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for abdominal pain, menstrual cramps, kidney stone pain, and other conditions where both spasm and pain occur together. This dual-action formula provides faster and more effective relief than using a single medicine.

Drotaverine is an antispasmodic that relaxes smooth muscles of the abdomen and internal organs, helping to reduce cramping and spasms. Diclofenac is a powerful pain reliever and anti-inflammatory medicine that reduces pain, swelling, and discomfort. Together, they help ease pain, improve comfort, and allow quicker recovery.

This combination is especially helpful in conditions like stomach cramps, biliary colic, and painful periods. Drotaverine + Diclofenac is usually taken for short-term pain relief, as advised by a doctor.

When used correctly under medical supervision, this medicine offers effective and reliable relief from spasm-related pain and inflammation.
