About Spasmo-Cibalgin Tablet 220mg/20mg

Spasmo-Cibalgin Tablet 220mg/20mg Uses

• Relief of spasmodic pain in the stomach and intestines, including colicky abdominal cramps
• Biliary colic pain caused by gallbladder or bile duct spasm
• Urinary tract spasm and renal colic pain

Spasmo-Cibalgin Tablet 220mg/20mg Benefits

• Combines a muscle relaxant with a pain reliever in a single tablet
• Targets both the spasm and the pain it produces, rather than one symptom alone
• Offers a mild antipyretic effect useful when cramping comes with a low grade fever
• Suited to short, defined episodes of colicky pain rather than continuous use

What Experts Say

Spasmo-Cibalgin pairs a musculotropic antispasmodic with a pyrazolone analgesic in one tablet. Drofenine hydrochloride relaxes smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal, biliary and urogenital tracts through combined anticholinergic and direct muscle relaxant action, reducing the frequency and force of colicky contractions.

Propyphenazone, a pyrazolone derivative, works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis at the pain site and in the brain's temperature centre, giving it analgesic and mild antipyretic effects. Combining it with an antispasmodic treats the spasm and the pain it generates in one step, rather than relying on a single mechanism.

This pairing suits short episodes of spasmodic pain, such as biliary colic, renal colic or menstrual cramping, where muscle spasm and pain occur together. Pyrazolone compounds carry a rare hypersensitivity and blood dyscrasia risk, and the anticholinergic component can raise eye pressure or affect bladder emptying, so use is usually short term and dose limited.
