Used primarily as a spasmolytic agent, it helps relieve muscle spasms, particularly in the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts. It is effective in treating conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and bladder spasms due to its ability to relax smooth muscle. Additionally, it has been explored for its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in inner ear disorders, where it may help reduce symptoms of tinnitus and hearing loss by modulating calcium channels and reducing excitotoxicity.
