Mechanism of Action

Drotaverine is an antispasmodic agent that works by selectively inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE-IV) in smooth muscle cells. This inhibition increases intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), leading to relaxation of smooth muscles. As a result, Drotaverine reduces spasms and relieves pain in the gastrointestinal, biliary, urinary, and uterine smooth muscles without affecting normal intestinal motility.
