About SUMO L SPAS TABLET

SUMO L SPAS TABLET is a combination drug primarily used in the treatment of spasmodic pain and discomfort due to biliary colic, intestinal colic, renal colic and spasmodic dysmenorrhea (painful irregular periods). It also helps alleviate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Colic is the intensive and uncontrollable crying in the babies for a prolonged period for no certain reason.
