Treatment of Abdominal pain

Information not available at the moment. Please check back later.

Ambrospas 5mg/125mg Oral Suspension is a combination of two medicines: dicyclomine and paracetamol, which relieves abdominal pain and cramps.

Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) that works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain.
