🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine works by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors located on smooth muscle cells. By preventing acetylcholine from binding to these receptors, it reduces muscle contractions and spasms in the gastrointestinal, biliary, and urinary tracts. This leads to relaxation of the smooth muscles and relief from cramping and pain.
