What does it do?

Papaverine hydrochloride is a drug of the alkaloid class, mainly used to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the urinary and reproductive systems. This ingredient aims to reduce muscle tension and alleviate pain and discomfort.

Papaverine hydrochloride helps to relax muscles by lowering the concentration of calcium ions within smooth muscle cells. As a result, it reduces spasms in the urinary and reproductive muscles, alleviating pain.
