Pharmacological properties

Otilonium bromide is a typical representative of the class of drugs based on the Quaternary salt
2-aminoethyl-N-benzylaminobenzoate.
Otilonium bromide has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the distal intestine (colon and rectum). This effect is observed at doses that do not affect gastric secretion and do not show typical atropine-like side effects.

Indication

Symptomatic treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and spasms of the distal intestine (colon and rectum) accompanied by pain, relief of abdominal pain, bloating and peristalsis due to spasm of the smooth muscles of the distal intestine in 18-year-old patients.
Treatment of IBS should begin with non-pharmacological measures (lifestyle changes, diet, emotional support, psychotherapy), pharmacotherapy is prescribed when such measures do not have the desired effect.

Contraindication

Presence in the anamnesis of hypersensitivity reactions to the active substance or to any of the excipients of the drug.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding

There are no clinical data on the use of Spasmomen during pregnancy or breastfeeding. In animal studies, Spazmomen did not have embryotoxic, teratogenic or mutagenic effects, nor did it show reproductive or ontogenetic toxicity. However, like all medicines, it should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only when absolutely necessary and under close medical supervision.

Method of application and dosage

The tablets should be swallowed whole and washed down with a glass of water. The tablets should preferably be taken 20 minutes before meals.
The recommended single dose is 1 tablet of 40 mg; recommended daily dose –
80–120 mg (1 tablet 2–3 times a day). The dose depends on the clinical picture and response to therapy, prescribed in accordance with the therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of IBS.
Duration of treatment: depends on the course of the disease. Physicians should periodically evaluate the need for continued therapy.

Children

Clinical data on the use of the drug in patients under 18 years of age are limited, so it is not intended for use in children.
