Introduction About HYOCIMAX S TABLET
HYOCIMAX S TABLET contains Hyoscyamine, which belongs to the group of medicines called Anticholinergic agents. It is used to manage the symptoms of functional intestinal disorders such as mild dysentery and diverticulitis (infection of the intestinal pouches). It is also used to control gastric secretion, spasms in internal organs and increased contractions and abdominal cramps associated with conditions such as cystitis (inflammation of the urinary bladder) and pylorospasm (abnormal contraction of the lower part of the stomach).
It is also used to provide symptomatic relief from biliary colic (blockade of the gall bladder duct), renal colic (pain in the kidney) and the common cold when used with appropriate analgesics. It is also used as adjunctive therapy to manage peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, acute enterocolitis (inflammation of the digestive tract) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders in affected individuals.
Functional intestinal disorders are common disorders that are generally characterised by persistent and recurring gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, an inability to swallow and indigestion. A peptic ulcer is a condition that occurs when stomach acid damages the lining of the digestive tract. It is generally characterised by symptoms such as a burning sensation in the stomach, bloating and/or heartburn. Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder that affects the large intestine and is characterised by symptoms such as abdominal cramping, diarrhoea, constipation and bloating in affected individuals.
