About Dropar 80 mg/500 mg Tablet

DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL belongs to the class of medicine called 'antispasmodic' combined with a painkiller, used to reduce and relieve abdominal pain and muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and gall bladder. Abdominal (tummy) pain occurs between your chest and pelvic region (below the belly button and leg). 

DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine (antispasmodic) and Paracetamol (pain killer). Drotaverine works by relieving contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles of the abdomen. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevent the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL helps in relieving abdominal pain and cramps.

DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL is available in oral tablet formulation. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL include dry mouth, feeling thirsty, and dizziness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including other vitamins, before starting DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL. Inform your doctor if you have any liver, heart, or kidney diseases and alcohol dependency. Consult your doctor before taking DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Do not take DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL if you are breastfeeding. DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL should not be given to children below one year of age as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with DROTAVERINE+PARACETAMOL as it could lead to increased dizziness and risk of liver damage.
