Clistar Syrup 30 ml is a combination drug primarily used to reduce abdominal pain caused due to dysmenorrhoea (irregular periods/menses). Dysmenorrhea (Abdominal cramps) is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with irregular periods. It occurs just before or during menses. Menstrual cramps cause throbbing pain in the lower belly (abdomen) during menses. These cramps can range from mild to severe.

Clistar Syrup 30 ml is composed of two medicines: Camylofin (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (analgesic). Paracetamol has both analgesic (pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) properties and decreases inflammation caused due to dysmenorrhea. It blocks a chemical messenger in pain responsible for making a person sense pain. Camylofin helps block the activity of certain natural substances in the body to cause pain. Together, they effectively reduce pain.

Clistar Syrup 30 ml should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. Clistar Syrup 30 ml is generally safe to consume.
