Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml is used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It contains Dicyclomine, also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. It blocks the activity of acetylcholine (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells) by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps relax smooth muscles and inhibits natural gut movements. Thus, it prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestine.

About Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml

Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml is used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml reduces spasms (sudden involuntary contraction) of the muscles in the stomach and intestines. Irritable bowel syndrome is an intestinal disorder that causes stomach pain, wind, constipation, and diarrhoea.

Your doctor will decide how often you need Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml injections based on your condition. For the best results, receive each dose exactly as scheduled and try to keep the same timing for every injection. Because Meftal Spas Injection 2 ml is given as an injection, it can be received with or without food. Along with treatment, avoiding foods that trigger your symptoms, staying well hydrated, and managing stress may help improve stomach comfort and reduce flare-ups.

Common side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts. However, seek medical attention immediately if you develop a very fast heartbeat, confusion, difficulty passing urine, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Tell your doctor before starting this medicine if you have glaucoma, heart disease, kidney or liver problems, or any blockage of the digestive or urinary tract. This medicine should not be used in people with severe ulcerative colitis, myasthenia gravis, or urinary obstruction unless advised by a healthcare professional.

If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, or an older adult, speak with your healthcare provider before receiving this medicine to make sure it is appropriate for you.
