About Anaspas Tablet 10's

Anaspas Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called ‘analgesics’. It is used to treat abdominal cramps or pain associated with various gastrointestinal conditions such as intestinal colic (blockage in the intestine), biliary colic (gallstones), renal colic (kidney stones), dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), etc.

Anaspas Tablet 10's contains Diclofenac and Camylofin. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by decreasing the production of prostaglandins (chemical substances that cause pain and inflammation) at the affected site (muscle) and reducing pain. Camylofin is an antispasmodic, which relaxes the stomach and gut (intestine) and stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms).

Anaspas Tablet 10's should be used as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of medicine. Anaspas Tablet 10's may cause side effects such as stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, loss of appetite, headache, and dizziness.

It is not recommended for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. It should be used with caution in elderly patients.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, Vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help in reducing pain and inflammation in the tissue.
  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase abdominal pain. Instead, you can do stretching, low-impact aerobic exercise (like walking on the treadmill, bike riding, and swimming), and simple forms of yoga. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights and doing muscle stretching regularly.
  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation condition. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle.
