    Antispasmodics: Their uses and how do they work?

Antispasmodics have been used for centuries to reduce anxiety or panic attacks by relaxing muscles in the chest area that may be causing feelings of tightness or shortness of breath. Antispasmodics are also used to control muscle spasms in the stomach, intestines, and other muscles. They can be used for several gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia (indigestion), chronic constipation, and colon spasms, or those experiencing chronic pain from nerve damage. These drugs work great for those who suffer from occasional bouts with anxiety but not so well for chronic sufferers since there is no cure for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Antispasmodics work by blocking serotonin’s release, which reduces inflammation and slows down the contractions of muscles in the body. There are many different types of antispasmodic medicines available, including some over-the-counter ones such as Loperamide which can be found at most gas stations and convenience stores. Some other Examples of antispasmodic drugs include Meclizine (antihistamine), Hyoscyamine (a synthetic alkaloid found in plants), Chlorpheniramine Maleate (antihistamines) and Dicyclomine HCl (muscle relaxants). While the most common antispaspomatic medications prescribed today are benzodiazepines like Alprazolam, diazepam and carisoprodol. Antispasmodics are typically taken for short periods because long-term use can lead to dependence or addiction.
