Working Mechanism of Drotaverine Hydrochloride Tablets

Drotaverine Hydrochloride Tablet belongs to the drug class Antispasmodic. It works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), an enzyme responsible for the degradation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Inhibition of PDE4 leads to elevated levels of cAMP, leading to smooth muscle relaxation. This relaxation helps in reducing involuntary muscle contractions and spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, gall bladder, and uterus.
