About Anafortan MF Tablet

Anafortan MF Tablet is a combination drug primarily used to reduce abdominal pain caused due to Intestinal colic, Biliary colic, Renal colic, Dysmenorrhea, Pancreatitis, etc. The colic pain could be because of the spasm or obstruction of intestinal, biliary or uterine smooth muscles. The clinical presentation of spasm could be acute, subacute or chronic in nature. These cramps can range from mild to severe.
