Biospas Forte Tablet

Introduction

Biospas Forte Tablet is a combination medication commonly used to relieve symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort caused by spasms in the digestive tract. It contains Dicyclomine (10mg), an anticholinergic agent that helps relax the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, and Simethicone (125mg), an anti-foaming agent that reduces gas and bloating. These ingredients work together to provide relief from gastrointestinal discomfort and improve digestion.

Uses of Biospas Forte Tablet

• Used to relieve abdominal pain, cramping, and bloating associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
• Helps in reducing gas and bloating in the stomach and intestines.
• Provides relief from discomfort caused by gastrointestinal spasms.
• May be prescribed for other gastrointestinal conditions as determined by a doctor.

How Biospas Forte Tablet Works

Biospas Forte Tablet works through its dual-action mechanism. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic that works by blocking certain neurotransmitters in the gut, thus reducing spasms and discomfort. Simethicone works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles, helping them to break down and pass through the digestive system, thereby alleviating bloating and discomfort.
