Product introduction
Spasmodart Tablet is a three-in-one combination medicine used for abdominal pain that arises from spasms or cramping of the stomach and intestinal muscles. It brings together an antispasmodic to relax gut muscles with two pain-relieving agents that ease the discomfort and any accompanying fever. It is generally meant for short-term relief rather than long-term daily use, and is best taken under a doctor's guidance. Because it combines three active ingredients, it is not usually recommended for self-medication without medical advice.
Storage: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Uses of Spasmodart Tablet
- Relief from abdominal pain caused by muscle spasms
- Cramping and discomfort linked to the stomach and intestines
- Short-term pain and fever relief alongside spasm relief
Benefits of Spasmodart Tablet
By combining a muscle-relaxing agent with two analgesics, this tablet addresses both the spasm and the pain that comes with it, rather than treating just one aspect of the discomfort. It can ease cramping, bloating and general abdominal unease, helping the gut return to a more normal rhythm. Because it also has a mild antipyretic effect, it can help settle any low-grade fever that sometimes accompanies gut cramps.
Side effects of Spasmodart Tablet
Most side effects do not require medical attention and go away as your body adjusts. Consult your doctor if they persist.
- Dry mouth
- Nausea or vomiting
- Indigestion or heartburn
- Loose motions
- Drowsiness or dizziness
- Blurred vision
How to use Spasmodart Tablet
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; avoid chewing, crushing or breaking it. It is best taken with or after food to reduce the chance of stomach upset, and only for the duration your doctor recommends. This medicine is generally meant for short courses and should be stopped once the pain settles, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
How Spasmodart Tablet works
Dicyclomine relaxes the smooth muscle of the stomach and intestines, easing the sudden contractions that cause cramping pain. Diclofenac and paracetamol act on pain and fever pathways by reducing the chemical signals in the body that cause discomfort and raised temperature. Together, the three ingredients calm the spasm itself while also dulling the pain and any fever that comes with it.

Safety advice
Drinking alcohol while on this medicine should be done cautiously, as it may increase the chance of stomach irritation or drowsiness.
This combination is best avoided during pregnancy, as it may pose a risk to the developing baby, so use only if your doctor decides it is essential.
It is generally not recommended while breastfeeding, since the ingredients may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.
It can cause drowsiness, dizziness or blurred vision in some people, so avoid driving or using machinery if you notice these effects.
Use with caution if you have kidney disease, as the dose may need to be adjusted and long-term use can affect kidney function.
This medicine should generally be avoided in people with liver disease, as the paracetamol and diclofenac content can add strain to the liver.

Frequently asked questions

Can it cause diarrhoea?
Loose motions can occur in some people. Stay well hydrated, and speak to your doctor if it continues or is severe.
Is dry mouth a common effect?

Can taking more than the prescribed dose relieve pain faster?
No, exceeding the recommended dose does not give faster relief and only increases the risk of side effects, including possible liver strain.
