HIDE SMILES / InChI
Pinaverium, known under the brand name DICETEL, is a spasmolytic agent used for functional gastrointestinal disorders. It is a quaternary ammonium compound that acts as an atypical calcium antagonist to restore normal bowel function. It is shown to relieve GI spasm and pain, transit disturbances and other symptoms related to motility disorders and may be considered as effective first-lline therapy for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Pinaverium is also used to help relieve symptoms caused by certain disorders of the gallbladder associated with secretion of bile. Pinaverium bromide is the common ingredient in formulations, mostly as oral tablets. Although it is not a currently approved drug by the FDA, pinaverium is available in over 60 countries including Canada. DICETEL® (pinaverium bromide) is a calcium antagonist which inhibits the calcium influx by blocking the voltage-dependent calcium channel at the smooth muscle cell level. It possesses a high degree of selectivity for the intestinal smooth muscle.

Sample Use Guides

The usual adult dosage is 50 mg three times a day (total daily dose of 150 mg). The dosage may be increased up to a maximum of 100 mg taken three times a day (maximum total daily dose of 300 mg). It is recommended that the tablet be taken with a glass of water during meals or snacks. The tablet should not be swallowed when in the lying position or just before bedtime.
Route of Administration: Oral
In inflamed human colons, pinaverium (1 uM) display a significant higher efficacy than diltiazem or nicardipine to reduce cell contraction induced by CCK-8 or by KCl.
