Antispasmodics

Antispasmodics are medications that help relax the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing involuntary muscle spasms that can cause pain, cramping, and discomfort. They are commonly used to manage conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive disorders. By calming the overactive muscles, antispasmodics promote smoother muscle movement, alleviating symptoms and improving comfort. These drugs typically act on the nerves or muscles directly and are prescribed based on individual symptoms and medical history. Proper use and dosage should always be guided by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
