Averine Ds 80 MG Tablet 10 contains drotaverine (80 mg), which has a specific mechanism of action in your body:

• Phosphodiesterase inhibition: Drotaverine blocks the action of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase in your body. This enzyme usually breaks down a compound known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

• Increased cAMP levels: By blocking phosphodiesterase, drotaverine increases the levels of cAMP. Higher cAMP levels promote the relaxation of smooth muscles and widen blood vessels.

• Relief from spasms and pain: With smooth muscles relaxed and blood vessels widened due to increased cAMP levels, spasms and associated pain in the abdominal region are effectively managed.

• Store Averine Ds 80 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature in a cool, dry place.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.

• Ensure that you keep Averine Ds 80 MG Tablet 10 out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiration date before using the medicine.

• For managing abdominal cramps or pain, try to include fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your diet. This can help with smoother bowel movements and potentially reduce discomfort.
