Spasfon Suppositories 10 Suppositories

Spasfon

Spasfon suppositories are a type of medicine used to treat pain caused by spasms (sudden, involuntary muscle contractions) in areas such as your intestines, bile ducts, bladder, and uterus. This medicine is only meant for adults.

Each Spasfon suppository contains a substance called hydrated phloroglucinol, which helps to relax these spasms and relieve pain.

If you're experiencing stomach aches, the usual dose is one suppository, three times a day, with at least two hours between each one. But remember, don't use more than three in a day. This medicine isn't for kids.

Keep in mind that Spasfon suppositories treat symptoms, so if your pain continues, you should get in touch with your doctor.

You shouldn't use Spasfon suppositories if you're allergic to any ingredients in them. Signs of an allergic reaction could include itching, skin rashes, swelling of your face or neck, sudden discomfort, or a red, scaly rash with fever. If you notice any of these signs, stop using the suppositories and contact a doctor right away.

While this medicine can be used during pregnancy if needed, it's not recommended for breastfeeding women. Always seek advice from a healthcare professional before taking any new medicine. And if you forget a dose, don't double up on the next one.

The Spasfon suppositories come in a box of 10.

If you're pregnant and having contractions, your gynecologist might prescribe Spasfon suppositories and advise you to rest. A special cushion shaped like a banana or half-moon, like the Sissel cushion, can help you rest more comfortably.

4.5. Interactions with other medicines and other forms of interactions

Not applicable.

4.6. Fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy

Studies carried out in animals have not shown any teratogenic effect of phloroglucinol. In the absence of a teratogenic effect in animals, a malformative effect in the human species is not expected. Indeed, to date, the substances responsible for malformations in the human species have proven to be teratogenic in animals during well-conducted studies on two species.

In clinical practice, the relatively widespread use of phloroglucinol has apparently not revealed any malformative risk to date. However, epidemiological studies are necessary to verify the absence of risk.

Consequently, the use of phloroglucinol should only be considered during pregnancy if advised by your doctor to be necessary.

Breastfeeding

In the absence of data, it is advised to avoid the use of this medicine during breastfeeding.
