Used primarily as a smooth muscle relaxant, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Commonly prescribed to relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), including abdominal cramps, bloating, and discomfort. It works by reducing muscle spasms in the gut, helping normalize bowel activity. Also found in combination with simethicone to address both spasms and gas-related symptoms. Used in adults and sometimes in pediatric cases under medical supervision. Available in tablet, liquid, and suppository forms for flexible dosing.
