Anaspas Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘analgesics’. It is used to treat abdominal cramps or pain associated with various gastrointestinal conditions such as intestinal colic (blockage in the intestine), biliary colic (gallstones), renal colic (kidney stones), dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), etc.

Anaspas Tablet contains Diclofenac and Camylofin. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by decreasing the production of prostaglandins (chemical substances that cause pain and inflammation) at the affected site (muscle) and reducing pain. Camylofin is an antispasmodic, which relaxes the stomach and gut (intestine) and stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms).

Anaspas Tablet should be used as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of medicine.
