Active Ingredient
Description

Fenoverine is a calcium antagonist that inhibits the calcium channels at significant sites in the calcium transport system. It stops the rapid calcium influx through the voltage-dependent channels and inhibits the rapid calcium release from the intracellular storage sites. This induces an effect on the strong (transient and prolonged), asynchronous spasmodic contractions.
