About Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet

Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, muscle pain, migraine headache, functional bowel disorders, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), heavy bleeding during periods, renal colic pain, and pain after surgery. 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.

Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine (anti-spasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Drotaverine works by reducing calcium reuptake by the cells, thereby correcting the body's calcium levels and relieving contractions associated with smooth muscles. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet helps in relieving pain.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you have/had asthma, peptic ulcers, porphyria, or bleeding problems. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Medicinal Benefits

Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine and Mefenamic acid. Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, muscle pain, migraine headache, functional bowel disorders, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), heavy bleeding during periods, renal colic pain, and pain after surgery. Drotaverine is an antispasmodic that reduces calcium reuptake by the cells, thereby correcting the calcium levels in the body and relieving contractions associated with smooth muscles. Mefenamic acid is an NSAID which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Dromin 80mg/250mg Tablet helps in relieving pain.
