In this article, we will consider the indications for the use of Duspatalin.
It is a drug that is included in a number of myotropic antispasmodics. It has an analgesic effect due to relaxation of smooth intestinal muscles and elimination of cramping. This tool does not affect peristaltic intestinal movements, which makes it possible to stop the pain and spasms that are caused by this organ without inhibiting the speed of food moving in the body and provoking reflex hypotension (it does not reduce the bowel tone in general).
The use of Duspatalin is recommended for spasmodic bowel pain, spastic conditions: biliary and intestinal colic, gallbladder dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome, after surgery for cholecystectomy and functional defects of the gastrointestinal tract, which are accompanied by attacks of pain and spastic manifestations .
Indications of Duspatalin
Since the effect of the drug "Duspatalin" is based on the elimination of spasms and pain in all organs of the gastrointestinal tract associated with them, indications for its use are conditions such as:
- Spasmodic pains in the abdomen.
- Colic intestines.
- Irritable colon syndrome (in order to eliminate various kinds of intestinal disorders and unpleasant symptoms in the abdomen where this organ is located).
- Biliary colic.
- Conditions after surgical removal of the gallbladder in a patient.
- Gallbladder disorder.
- Various spasms of a secondary nature in the digestive tract, caused by diseases of other systems and organs (for example, with pancreatitis or cholecystitis).
- Disorders of the functioning of the digestive organs, accompanied by severe abdominal pain syndrome (if children are over twelve years old).
- As a symptomatic drug to eliminate pain syndrome, intestinal discomfort and cramping.
The indications of Duspatalin should be strictly observed.
Instructions for use and dose
The drug is made in the form of capsules and tablets. Its use is the same for all diseases: both forms are taken orally, immediately swallowed and washed down with water in large quantities. You do not need to chew them, since a special shell allows the medicine to be released for a long time, and this, in turn, promotes accelerated absorption. "Duspatalin" is used twice a day, one tablet / capsule in the morning and evening twenty minutes before meals.
The duration of treatment with this antispasmodic is determined by a specialist, depending on the specifics of the clinical picture of the patient.
Indications and contraindications "Duspatalin" are described in detail in the annotation.
Overdose
Cases of drug overdose may become possible with a single dose of too large a dose of this drug. Due to an overdose, excessive excitation of the central nervous system is observed. In this case, it is necessary to remove all drug residues from the body by washing the stomach, then take activated charcoal or another universal drug from the group of sorbents.
If CNS excitability is expressed, appropriate means should be used for symptomatic treatment.
Interaction with other medicines
The interaction of Duspatoline with other medicines has not been established. That is why it can be combined with various medicines.
Since there were cases of dizziness due to the influence of the drug, it is necessary during them to refrain from all types of activity, to one degree or another, related to the need to maintain an increased concentration of attention and a sufficient speed of psychomotor reactions. In addition, you must carefully drive the vehicle.
Even if you strictly adhere to the testimony of Duspatalin, the occurrence of side effects is not ruled out.
Side symptoms
The drug as a whole is well tolerated by patients, and causes side effects very rarely. A special study was conducted of eight drugs used in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, during which it was established that Duspatalin is in the first position in the absence of any side effects. But a small list of them for this drug is still there:
- hives;
- swelling on the face;
- dizziness;
- exanthema (allergic option);
- angioedema;
- hypersensitive reactions (skin redness and itching, for example);
- headache;
- constipation;
- nausea;
- diarrhea.
Indications of the drug "Duspatalin" we reviewed, then we will talk about contraindications.
Contraindications
The tool has a small list of contraindications, however, they still need to be taken into account and be careful about the reaction of your body to a new drug. Contraindications include:
- excessive sensitivity of the patient to the composition of the drug, which can be expressed in the form of urticaria or other allergic reaction;
- do not prescribe this drug to children under ten years of age, since clinical trials have not been conducted on this age group, which means that there is no reliable information about the effect of antispasmodic on the child's body and the consequences of its use, despite the fact that it was sometimes used to treat gastrointestinal diseases in children;
- Duspatolin is not recommended for women who breast-feed their children, since this category of patients has also not been adequately investigated for the expected consequences of using this medicine; there is no information about its amount that passes into breast milk, and therefore during lactation it is better to refrain from taking the drug;
- during pregnancy, it is also undesirable to use this drug, despite the fact that there are no special indications in this regard; antispasmodic can be used only in case of a threat to life, in extreme cases;
- caution should be exercised in those patients who suffer from pathologies of the liver and kidneys.
Despite a short list of contraindications, you need to be very careful about your feelings and monitor the reaction of your own body to a new drug.

Reviews
The drug is more widely evaluated by patients positively. This is due to the high effectiveness of the antispasmodic, which not only contributes to the rapid elimination of functional disorders of the digestive organs, but also helps in the treatment of various diseases.
In addition, those patients who underwent a whole course of antibiotics that caused severe colicky and spastic pains in the abdomen respond positively to this remedy.
It is also noted that Duspatalin copes well with painful colic. In this case, the effect came rather quickly, from fifteen minutes to half an hour, and the effect of the drug persisted for a long time.
It is worth noting separately and the positive opinion of those patients who suffer from cholecystitis and pancreatitis. People with such diseases say that Duspatalin helped relieve spasms of the ducts of the bile and pancreas, making their health much better.
Negative comments
There are few negative reviews about this antispasmodic, they are single in nature and are due to the fact that the expected effect was absent. Patients note that with cholecystitis, the pain syndrome also remained a few hours after taking the drug. People in this case were disappointed and immediately characterized the antispasmodic on the negative side. But it is worth noting that "Duspatalin" in the presence of severe cholecystitis is able to eliminate the pain syndrome only after 2-3 days of its use. That is why there is no reason to consider it generally ineffective.
Some negative reviews are due to the use of non-indications of Duspatalin. For example, very often people indicate in such cases that the drug is ineffective in treating gastric ulcers and gastritis. But it is an antispasmodic and is not intended for the treatment of such diseases.
