How Apodrot Products work
Drotaverine + Mefenamic Acid is a combination of two medicines: Drotaverine + Mefenamic Acid1 and Drotaverine + Mefenamic Acid2, which relieves abdominal pain and cramps. Drotaverine + Mefenamic Acid1 is an anti-spasmodic medicine which relieves contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles in the abdomen. Drotaverine + Mefenamic Acid2 is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).

Apodrot 80mg/250mg Tablet is generally safe when taken in the dose and duration prescribed by a doctor, but some people may experience nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, dry mouth, weakness, sleepiness, or loss of appetite. These effects are usually mild and temporary. People who are allergic to this medicine or who have severe liver disease, kidney disease, or certain heart conditions should use it only if advised by a doctor.

Q. Can Apodrot 80mg/250mg Tablet cause stomach bleeding?
Yes, Apodrot 80mg/250mg Tablet can rarely cause stomach or intestinal bleeding because it contains a pain-relief ingredient that may irritate the stomach lining.

Watch for warning signs such as black or tarry stools, vomiting blood, or severe stomach pain. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical help immediately.
Q. Can I stop taking Apodrot 80mg/250mg Tablet once my pain improves?
Apodrot 80mg/250mg Tablet is usually used for short-term relief of pain or muscle spasms, so it can often be stopped once the pain improves.
