CompositionAbout Epidosin 8 MG Injection 20 ML
Uses of Epidosin 8 MG Injection 20 ML
Epidosin Injection is used to treat painful periods (dysmenorrhoea) and relieve pain and spasms after surgery. This medicine works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the body, making it highly effective for easing gastrointestinal and intestinal spasms, biliary colic (gallbladder pain), and urinary tract spasms (such as those related to kidney stones). It is also used to help relax and open the cervix during labor, facilitating cervical dilation.
Directions for Use of Epidosin 8 MG Injection 20 ML
Administer Epidosin Injection in the following manner:
This medicine should only be administered by a healthcare professional.
It's important to ensure that Epidosin Injection is not self-administered at home.
The injection process usually happens in a hospital or clinic setting.
The medicine is given either intramuscularly or as a slow intravenous injection.
For specific advice on how to use this medicine, always consult your doctor.
Route of Administration
Epidosin Injection is administered intramuscularly or via slow intravenous injection.
Side Effects of Epidosin 8 MG Injection 20 ML
Epidosin Injection may cause common side effects like drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. If these symptoms become troublesome, consult your healthcare provider.
Managing the Side Effects:
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Epidosin Injection. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Drowsiness: Consider having an Epidosin Injection administered at night if it makes you drowsy during the day.
Nausea and vomiting: If these occur after the injection, try to eat a light snack before your next dose.
How Epidosin 8 MG Injection 20 ML Works?
Epidosin Injection contains valethamate (8 mg). The activity of this medicine is as follows:
Anticholinergic Action: Valethamate bromide works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine - a chemical messenger responsible for contraction of smooth muscles. By blocking acetylcholine, it reduces the contractions of these muscles.
Spasmolytic Action: Valethamate helps in relieving spasms and associated pain in organs composed of smooth muscles such as intestines, cervix, urinary tract and bile duct. This relaxation leads to pain relief in conditions like dysmenorrhoea and renal colic.
Cervical Dilation: During labour, valethamate aids in cervical dilation thereby facilitating childbirth.
Safety Measures & Warnings

Breastfeeding
Epidosin Injection is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.
