Dytra Forte (80mg) 20 Tablets

Drotaverine is a spasmolytic medication that primarily acts as a phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor. Its mechanism of action involves increasing intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by inhibiting the breakdown of cAMP by PDE. This increased cAMP concentration leads to smooth muscle relaxation, particularly in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. Drotaverine selectively inhibits PDE4, which is predominantly found in smooth muscle, while having less effect on other PDE subtypes. By preventing the degradation of cAMP, drotaverine helps to maintain smooth muscle relaxation, reduce spasms, and alleviate pain associated with various gastrointestinal and urogenital disorders.
