Tanspas-P Tablet belongs to the class of medicine called 'antispasmodic' combined with a painkiller, used to reduce and relieve abdominal pain and muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and gall bladder. Abdominal (tummy) pain occurs between your chest and pelvic region (below the belly button and leg). 

Tanspas-P Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (pain killer). Drotaverine works by relieving contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles of the abdomen. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevent the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Tanspas-P Tablet helps in relieving abdominal pain and cramps.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of Tanspas-P Tablet include dry mouth, feeling thirsty, and dizziness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Abdominal pain and cramps: Abdominal pain occurs between the chest and pelvic region, generally known as stomach or tummy pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. The common causes of abdominal pain include inflammation, infections, intestinal disorders and obstruction/blockage.
