Duvadilan Tablet

Description

Duvadilan Tablet contains Isoxsuprine (10mg), a vasodilator and smooth muscle relaxant. It helps improve blood circulation by widening blood vessels and also relaxes the muscles of the uterus. Because of these actions, it is widely used in the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases and in pregnancy-related conditions such as threatened miscarriage or premature labor.

Unlike the Retard SR capsule (40mg) which is long-acting, this tablet is an immediate-release form, so it works faster but may need to be taken more frequently.

How It Works

• Vasodilation: Relaxes blood vessels → improves blood flow → reduces symptoms of poor circulation.
