Description
Iriban is a musculotropic antispasmodic that alleviates cramps and spasms in the stomach and intestines. It is particularly effective for managing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and similar conditions. By relaxing the gut muscles, it helps restore normal gastrointestinal movement.
