Setspas-A Tablet

Introduction

Setspas-A Tablet is a combination of Drotaverine (80 mg) and Aceclofenac (100 mg), designed to provide relief from pain and muscle spasms. Drotaverine is an antispasmodic agent that helps relax smooth muscles, while Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation. This tablet is commonly used to manage pain and discomfort associated with conditions like musculoskeletal pain, menstrual cramps, and gastrointestinal spasms.
