Mechanism of action | Cyclotas 20mg/500mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Dicyclomine and Paracetamol / Acetaminophen which relieve abdominal pain. Dicyclomine is an anti-cholinergic which relaxes the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine) and stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms). By doing this, it relieves cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Paracetamol / Acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-pyretic (fever reducer) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause fever and pain. |
