Rociverine

Rociverine is an antispasmodic drug used to treat urinary, gastrointestinal and biliary spasms.

[2] In India, rociverine is used as part of the "Programmed Labour Protocol" to help reduce pain and shorten the duration of labor.

However, an analysis of clinical trials provides little evidence supporting its effectiveness in reducing labor duration.

[3] The (1R,2R) stereoisomer showed 240-fold greater affinity for the muscarinic receptor, but the (1S,2S) compound showed the best selectivity.
