Otilonium bromide, sold under the trade name Spasmomen among others, is an antimuscarinic and calcium channel blocker used to relieve spasmodic pain of the gut, especially in irritable bowel syndrome.[1] This means it works in the gut themselves, by relaxing the small muscles of the intestines, which results in relieving cramps and therefore reduces pain.

Medical uses

A pooled analysis of three clinical trials suggest that otilonium is more effective than placebo for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.[2]

Pharmacology

Otilinium binds to both muscarinic receptors and tachykinin NK2 receptors.[3] It has been shown to inhibit L-type and T-type calcium channels, actions which may contribute to or determine its effects in the gut.[4][5]

When taken orally, very little of the drug is absorbed into the rest of the body,[6] which means that most of its actions remain confined to the gastrointestinal system.
