Drotaverine

An antispasmodic that relaxes smooth muscle by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase 4, developed in Hungary in the early 1960s and used for spasms and colic of the gut, bile ducts and urinary tract. This family brings together the active ingredient, nitrosamines and other impurities.
