Indications & Uses
Tiemonium Methylsulfate is an antispasmodic medicine. It eases muscle spasm in the intestine, the biliary system, the bladder and the uterus. Doctors use it for the symptomatic treatment of pain linked to functional disorders of the digestive tract and biliary system. It is also indicated for spasm and pain in urological and gynaecological diseases.
Pharmacology
Tiemonium Methylsulphate works as a competitive antagonist of acetylcholine and histamine. It also strengthens the binding of calcium to membrane phospholipids and proteins. This stops the contractile protein inside visceral cells from working, and so it inhibits visceral spasm and pain.
