==Mechanism of action==
Alverine acts directly on the muscle in the gut, causing it to relax. Alverine is a 5HT1A antagonist, which reduces rectal hypersensitivity.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Coelho AM, Jacob L, Fioramonti J, Bueno L | title = Rectal antinociceptive properties of alverine citrate are linked to antagonism at the 5-HT1A receptor subtype | journal = The Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology | volume = 53 | issue = 10 | pages = 1419–1426 | date = October 2001 | pmid = 11697552 | doi = 10.1211/0022357011777783 }}</ref> This prevents the ] which occur in the gut in conditions such as ] and ].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://casadesante.com/blogs/low-fodmap-life/common-myths-about-ibs|title=Detailed Info About Irritable bowel syndrome|access-date=2017-07-26}}</ref> Diverticular disease is a condition in which small pouches form in the gut lining. These pouches can trap particles of food and become inflamed and painful. In irritable bowel syndrome, the normal activity of the gut muscle is lost. The muscle spasms result in symptoms such as ] and ], ] or ]. By relaxing the gut muscle, alverine citrate relieves the symptoms of this condition. Alverine also relaxes the smooth muscle in the womb (uterus). It is therefore also used to treat painful menstruation, which is caused by muscle spasms in the uterus (]).

Alverine capsules<ref>{{Cite web|title = Alverine Citrate 60 mg Hard Capsules |url = https://www.drugs.com/uk/alverine-citrate-60-mg-hard-capsules-leaflet.html| work = Drugs.com |access-date = 2015-12-06}}</ref> are now available in the market. There are two strengths of capsule - 60&nbsp;mg and 120&nbsp;mg. The common dosage for adults and children over 12 years is 60–120&nbsp;mg taken one, two or three a day, either before or after meals.
