Camylofin
Uses
Camylofin is used for the treatment of pain due to smooth muscle spasms.
How it Works
Camylofin is known as a smooth muscle relaxant which has both anticholinergic action as well as direct smooth muscle action. Anticholinergic action of Camylofin is produced by inhibiting the binding of acetylcholine to muscarinic receptors. Camylofin Direct smooth muscle relaxation is achieved by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type IV, which then leads to increased cyclic AMP and eventually reduced cytosolic calcium, this leads to the controlling of the muscle contractions.
