Dicyclomine

Dicyclomine, a medication available in tablet and liquid forms, is a prescription drug used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and certain gastrointestinal conditions characterized by abdominal pain, cramping, and excessive gastrointestinal motility. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, which helps alleviate abdominal discomfort and reduce the frequency of bowel movements. Dicyclomine does not treat the underlying cause of IBS, but rather provides relief from its symptoms. Healthcare professionals may prescribe Dicyclomine to patients experiencing IBS-related symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. Patients should follow their doctor’s instructions carefully and report any adverse effects or concerns promptly.
