How effective are Sesden capsules 30 mg from Japan for gastritis, ulcer, urinary calculus and pancreatitis (timepidium bromide)?

Sesden capsules contain timepidium bromide, an anticholinergic agent. It works by blocking the action of the neurotransmitter called acetylcholine and suppressing the involuntary movement of smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and other parts of the body. Since the active ingredient doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier, Sesden capsules are able to act peripherally with no central side effects.

Who should use Sesden capsules 30 mg from Japan?

Sesden capsules are effective for relieving the cramps, spasms and pain in patients with gastritis, stomach or duodenal ulcer, enteritis, gall bladder or biliary tract disease, urinary calculus and pancreatitis. Studies showed that timepidium bromide significantly affects the gastric tonus when compared to other drugs, including hyoscine-N-butylbromide and prifinium bromide (N. Tohei, T. Hosono et al. Comparative studies of parasympatholytic drugs on stomach (double blind test) and analysis of relation between gastric form and tonus // Arzneimittelforschung, 1975, 25(11): 1813-22).
