Milverine (Fenprin, Fenpyramine, Miospasm) is a spasmolytic (antispasmodic) agent that was developed in the latter half of the 20th century.

The therapeutic use of fenpyramin as a platelet-antiaggregating and antithrombotic as well as vasodilating and antianginous medicine was also identified.

Milverine is a bifunctional molecule; one half of the molecule contains 3,3-Diphenylpropylamine and the other half of the molecule contains fampridine.
