No this is not a drug to treat appendicitis. Relying on an antispasmodic drug to cure an appendicitis is very dangerous. If you think you have appendicitis and have taken an antispasmodic and are experiencing some relief, your appendix may have burst. Full blown appendicitis is a surgical emergency. 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.
