What is Drotaverine Hydrochloride?
Drotaverine Hydrochloride, the active ingredient in No-Spa Neo, is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (smooth muscle relaxant) presented as a tablet for oral use. It works by relaxing smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal, genitourinary and biliary tracts, providing symptomatic relief from abdominal cramps, menstrual dysmenorrhea, biliary colic and urinary colic in adult patients.
GNH USA supplies No-Spa Neo as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, ensuring quality compliance with EU standards and reliable global distribution and timely delivery.
What is Drotaverine Hydrochloride used for?
Drotaverine Hydrochloride is an antispasmodic that acts on smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary and biliary systems. - Abdominal pain and cramps: Reduces intensity of visceral pain by relaxing intestinal smooth muscle. - Menstrual dysmenorrhea: Alleviates uterine cramps and associated discomfort during menstruation. - Biliary colic: Relieves spasms of the biliary ducts, easing pain from gallstone obstruction. - Urinary colic: Decreases ureteral smooth‑muscle spasm, facilitating passage of renal calculi.
What are the side effects of Drotaverine Hydrochloride?
Drotaverine Hydrochloride may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are classified by frequency and severity.
Common Side Effects: - Dizziness: Light‑headed sensation, especially after standing quickly. - Headache: Mild to moderate pain in the head region. - Nausea: Stomach discomfort or urge to vomit. - Dry mouth: Reduced salivation causing throat dryness. - Blurred vision: Temporary visual disturbances. - Fatigue: Unusual tiredness.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: Rash, itching, swelling, or anaphylaxis requiring immediate medical attention. - Hypotension: Marked drop in blood pressure leading to faintness or shock. - Cardiac arrhythmia: Irregular heartbeat that may be life‑threatening.
What precautions apply to Drotaverine Hydrochloride?
Before prescribing Drotaverine Hydrochloride, clinicians should consider several safety precautions. - Assess renal and hepatic function: Adjust use if organ impairment is present. - Monitor blood pressure: Use cautiously in patients prone to hypotension. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: Discontinue at first sign of allergic reaction. - Use during pregnancy only if benefit outweighs risk: Limited data available. - Avoid in severe cardiac disease: Potential for arrhythmias. - Store at room temperature: Keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and light.
What does Drotaverine Hydrochloride interact with?
Drotaverine Hydrochloride can interact with other medicines, altering its efficacy or safety profile.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other phosphodiesterase inhibitors: May cause excessive smooth‑muscle relaxation and hypotension. - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin): May increase drotaverine plasma levels, raising risk of adverse effects.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihypertensive agents: Additive blood‑pressure‑lowering effect, monitor BP. - Anticholinergic drugs: May reduce overall antispasmodic benefit, observe symptom control. - Alcohol: Can enhance dizziness and hypotensive effects, advise moderation. - Diuretics: Potential for electrolyte imbalance, watch renal function.
