Description

Relispa Fort 80mg is an oral tablet formulated with Drotaverine Hydrochloride, a medicine belonging to the antispasmodic class. It works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase enzymes in smooth muscle tissue, which increases levels of a natural signaling molecule called cyclic AMP, leading to relaxation of smooth muscles in the digestive system, urinary tract, and reproductive organs. This helps relieve painful spasms and cramping in these areas. Relispa Fort is commonly used for conditions involving gastrointestinal, biliary, and urinary tract spasms, as well as menstrual cramps. The pack contains 20 tablets, suitable for occasional or short-term use as needed under medical guidance.

Ingredients

Each Relispa Fort tablet contains 80mg of Drotaverine Hydrochloride as its active ingredient. The tablet also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients such as binders, fillers, and a coating layer, which help maintain the tablet’s structure and support consistent absorption once swallowed. Patients with known sensitivities to any inactive ingredients should check the packaging or consult a pharmacist before use.

Dosage Form

Relispa Fort is supplied as a solid oral tablet, meant to be swallowed whole with a glass of water, with or without food.

Uses

Relispa Fort is used to relieve smooth muscle spasms and the pain associated with them, including recurrent stomach pain related to gastrointestinal disorders, biliary colic caused by gallstones, and ureteral colic related to kidney stones or other urinary tract issues. It is also commonly used to ease menstrual cramps and abdominal pain associated with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, and may be used to help relieve cervical spasm during labor under medical supervision.

How to Use

Relispa Fort should be taken exactly as directed by a doctor, typically up to three to four times a day, with or without food. If taken alongside acidity medication, it is generally recommended to space the doses at least two hours apart to avoid reduced absorption. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water, and the recommended dose should not be exceeded. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, unless the next dose is nearly due, in which case it should be skipped rather than doubled.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Relispa Fort include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and mild changes in pulse rate. Some patients may also experience headache, insomnia, or occasional palpitations. Less commonly, more serious effects can occur, including a notable fall in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, or allergic reactions such as swelling, hives, or itchy skin. Any unusual or severe symptoms should be reported to a doctor promptly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Relispa Fort should only be used during pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor, as its use requires careful consideration of the specific situation, including any use related to cervical spasm during labor, which should only occur under direct medical supervision. Breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before using this medicine, as safety data in this context should be reviewed by a healthcare provider.

Storage Instructions

Relispa Fort tablets should be stored at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The tablets should remain in their original packaging until needed and be kept well out of the reach of children and pets. Any expired or unused tablets should be disposed of properly rather than through household waste.
