Active Ingredient Description
Fenoverine

Fenoverine is a calcium antagonist that inhibits the calcium channels at significant sites in the calcium transport system. It stops the rapid calcium influx through the voltage-dependent channels and inhibits the rapid calcium release from the intracellular storage sites. This induces an effect on the strong (transient and prolonged), asynchronous spasmodic contractions. Fenoverine is a potent, musculotropic, spasmolytic agent that affects primarily the gastrointestinal tract, bile duct, and female genital organs.
