Pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen is an indicator of possible appendicitis. If you push in, on the right lower quadrant, and let go quickly, the pain is characteristically quite intense (known as rebound pain or tenderness).
If appendicitis (or any other concerning pain) is occuring, see your physician or, if urgent, go to the nearest hospital emergency room.

No this is not a drug to treat appendicitis. Relying on an antispasmodic drug to cure an appendicitis is very dangerous.

People have had severe pain (and this can last from several hours to several days) then experienced an absence of pain... enough to get some rest and have unfortunately not awakened from the rest because when the appendix bursts it feels better, but at the same time allows dangerous intestinal contents, bacteria and enzymes to be released into the abdominal cavity. An untreated burst appendix always leads to death as far as I know.
