Description
What is Anapaz Drops 10ml?
Anapaz Drops 10ml is a paediatric antispasmodic oral liquid containing Dicyclomine Hydrochloride, prescribed for the relief of infantile colic, functional abdominal cramps, intestinal spasms, and gas-related discomfort in infants and young children. It is classified as an anticholinergic/antispasmodic and should be used under paediatric physician supervision. See also General Medicines for related products.
How Does Anapaz Drops Work?
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride acts as a muscarinic (anticholinergic) antagonist and direct smooth muscle relaxant. It reduces excessive gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions by blocking acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors, thereby relieving intestinal spasms, bloating, and colicky pain. Onset of relief typically occurs within 15–30 minutes of administration.
Uses of Anapaz Drops
Indicated for infantile colic in infants aged 6 months and above (contraindicated under 6 months — see precautions), functional abdominal pain, irritable bowel-type symptoms in young children, and post-feeding gas discomfort and bloating. Also see other Drops medicines for related paediatric formulations.
