How Spaban Products work
Dicyclomine + Paracetamol is a combination of two medicines: dicyclomine and paracetamol, which relieves abdominal pain and cramps. Dicyclomine + Paracetamol1 is an anti-cholinergic which relaxes the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Dicyclomine + Paracetamol2 is an analgesic (pain reliever) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain.
