Medicinal Benefits

Fixflem-Spas Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Dicyclomine (anti-spasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Fixflem-Spas Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and colicky pain. Dicyclomine works by relieving contractions associated with the smooth muscles of the abdomen. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers called prostaglandins. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Fixflem-Spas Tablet helps in relieving pain.
