Description

Esnil-M Tablet contains drotaverine and mefenamic acid. This medicine is used to relieve pain, spasm, or twitches of the smooth muscles in the gut (stomach and intestines) as well as bloating, cramps, and discomfort in the abdomen. It may also be used for reducing pain caused by the kidney and ureter (the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder) stones.

Common side effects of this medicine are dry mouth, constipation, diarrhoea, heartburn, blurred vision, and increased heart rate. Esnil-M Tablet is also known to cause dizziness, so do not drive or perform any activity that requires mental focus after taking medicine. Most of the side effects of this medicine are temporary and usually resolve with time. However, talk to your doctor if these side effects intensify or do not go away with time. Avoid consuming alcohol with this medicine as it can worsen dizziness. Esnil-M Tablet can be taken with food or as instructed by your doctor. You should complete the whole treatment even if you feel better after a couple of doses. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back, and your condition may worsen. Esnil-M Tablet should be used with caution in patients with severe liver, kidney, and heart problems as it can increase the risk of severe side effects. This medicine should also be used with caution in the elderly population as they are more prone to develop side effects.
