Pharmacology:Â
Alverine works by relaxing smooth muscles. It exeÂrts its effect as an antispasmodic agent. MuscleÂs become less teÂnse and spasms decreaseÂ, providing relief.Â
Pharmacodynamics:Â
Alverine is a drug that relaxes involuntary muscles. It acts on the smooth muscles in the uterus and stomach. By direÂctly impacting the intestinal muscles, AlveÂrine prevents spasms. TheÂse spasms are linked to conditions like diverticular disease and irritable bowel syndrome.Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
MetabolismÂ
Alverine quickly transforms into its potent form. This compound then shifts into two secondary byproducts. AfteÂr conversion, the substance undeÂrgoes additional changes, giving rise to two distinct meÂtabolites.Â
Elimination and excretionÂ
Alverine gets removed quickly from the body through the kidneys. Its removal time is brief, around 0.8 hours. However, one of its broken down products lasts longer, around 5.7 hours, before being removed.Â
Administration:Â
Alverine capsules should be taken orally with plenty of water with or without mealsÂ
Do not chew the capsulesÂ
