Abdominal Pain
Diclofenac is a Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body called prostaglandins, which cause inflammation and pain. By reducing these, it can provide relief from discomfort and swelling.
Dicyclomine acts by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions. This helps relax the smooth muscles in your stomach and intestines, thereby reducing painful cramps and spasms. These two components work together to alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, and spasms associated with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome.
