• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual periods)
• Biliary colics (pain from gallstones)
• Renal colics (pain from kidney stones)

How to Use It

Adults:

• For Spasms (Oral): You might take 1 to 2 tablets, three times a day.
• Injection (Into Muscle or Under Skin): A doctor might give 1 to 2 ampoules (injections) one to three times daily.
• For Severe Stone Colics (Intravenous): For very painful kidney or gallstone attacks, 1 or 2 ampoules can be given slowly into a vein.

Children (Oral, for Spasms):

• Children over 6 years: Give 1/2 to 1 tablet (which is 40 mg), one to two times daily.
• Children 1-6 years: Give 1/4 to 1/2 tablet (which is 20 mg), one to two times daily.

• Severe kidney problems
• Severe liver problems
• Severe heart problems
• Porphyria (a rare blood disorder)

Important Considerations

Use Spacovin Injection with caution if you have:

• Kidney, liver, or heart conditions.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, always talk to your doctor first.

Drug Interactions

• Spacovin Injection might reduce the effect of levodopa (a medication for Parkinson’s disease).
• Taking it with pain relievers (analgesics), antimuscarinics, or benzodiazepines might lead to increased relief from spasms.

Possible Side Effects

Side effects you might experience include:

• Vertigo (dizziness)
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Dry mouth

How It Works

Spacovin Injection’s active ingredient, Drotaverine, directly relaxes the smooth muscles in your body, particularly in your digestive and urinary systems. It does this by affecting specific chemical processes in the muscle cells, which helps ease spasms and the pain they cause.
