SPASMOMEN (Otilonium Bromide) TABLET

Introduction

Spasmomen contains Otilonium Bromide, a medicine from the spasmolytic group. In medical practice across Pakistan, it is recognized for treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal disorders linked to painful spasms and abnormal bowel motility. It helps relieve cramps, bloating, and discomfort by acting directly on the digestive tract muscles.

How it Works

Otilonium Bromide reduces excessive contractions of bowel muscles, which are common in IBS. By calming the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, it:

• Relieves bowel spasms.

• Reduces abdominal pain and distension.

• Helps regulate excessive motility (overactive bowel movements).

Primary Uses

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
