Gag Spas 100/80 MG Tablet 10 comprises two active components:

• Drotaverine (80 mg): Drotaverine is an antispasmodic agent that works on the smooth muscles of your gastrointestinal tract as well as other areas like the biliary and urinary tracts. This is achieved by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-IV which usually breaks down cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Increasing cAMP levels helps relax these smooth muscles and relieves spasms, effectively decreasing abdominal pain and cramps.

• Aceclofenac (100 mg): This NSAID acts by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, especially COX-2. By doing so, it reduces the production of prostaglandins, body chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. As a result, aceclofenac provides analgesic (pain-relieving) and anti-inflammatory effects.
