About Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml

Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml belongs to the class of ‘antispasmodic/anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents,’ primarily used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml reduces spasms (sudden involuntary contraction) of the muscles in the stomach and intestines. Irritable bowel syndrome is an intestinal disorder that causes stomach pain, wind, constipation, and diarrhoea.

Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml contains ‘Dicyclomine,’ also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml blocks the activity of acetylcholine (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells) by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps relax smooth muscles and inhibits natural gut movements. Thus it prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestine.

Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose based on your medical condition. It shows common side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, light-headedness, weakness, nervousness, blurred vision, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, and trouble sleeping. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any medications. Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, heart disease, or other medical histories before receiving Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml. Some antacids may inhibit the absorption of Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml; hence maintain a time gap between the intake of antacids and Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml. Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml may cause blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness; hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant and breastfeeding before taking Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml. This medicine is not recommended for children below six months of age.

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml contains ‘Dicyclomine,’ also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine is an ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agent’ with antispasmodic activity. Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml effectively treats irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps relax the smooth muscles, inhibits natural gut movements, decreases gastric acid secretion, and controls excessive gastrointestinal secretions. Thus it prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestines. Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml is also used to relieve stomach cramps, bloating, and pain in the stomach and intestine.
