Despas 10 mg/250 mg Tablet

How Despas Tablet works

Despas Tablet works through a dual mechanism. Dicyclomine acts as an antispasmodic, helping to relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and reduce cramping. Mefenamic Acid, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), helps lower inflammation and pain by blocking the action of prostaglandins—substances that cause pain, swelling, and fever. This combination helps to alleviate both the pain and the cause of spasms effectively.
