Spasler P is an anticholinergic medication that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in the transmission of nerve signals. Its primary mode of action involves antagonizing muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems.
