Introduction
Cyclowar is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Paracetamol, Pamabrom, and Dicyclomine. It is commonly used to provide relief from the symptoms of menstrual pain and discomfort.
Uses
Cyclowar is primarily prescribed to alleviate the symptoms associated with menstrual pain, including cramps, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. It is specifically formulated to target the discomfort experienced during the menstrual cycle.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage for Cyclowar is one tablet taken orally, usually two to three times a day, as directed by your healthcare provider. Follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully and not exceed the recommended dose.
Mechanism of Action
Paracetamol, one of the active ingredients in Cyclowar, works by reducing pain and fever. Pamabrom helps to relieve water retention and reduce bloating. Dicyclomine is a smooth muscle relaxant that helps to ease muscular spasms in the abdominal area. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to alleviate menstrual pain and discomfort.
