I have had intestinal gas for some time: asked my primary care doctor whether there was something simple I could take as I had read that over-the counter meds were not safe. He prescribed dicyclomine 10 mg nightly. The list of side effects sound daunting. What do you recommend? I am quite elderly. ## Hello, Tomyris! How are you? This isn't going to help with gas, as a matter of fact, in other countries, they combine it with an antiflatulent medication to present a medication that helps with more symptoms. This works as a smooth muscle relaxer for the intestines to treat intestinal hypermotility and IBS. Unless you have some medical condition or are on medications that causes them to be contraindicated, over the counter products, such as Simethicone, are generally considered safe. It...

Hi. My Dr prescribed dicyclomine 10 mg 3 times a day. I noticed the amount of side effects and I'm terrified to take it. Should I be this concerned? ## There are risks and possible side effects associated with taking any medication, prescription, or over the counter, this one has about the same amount of them as any other, according to the FDA. Which ones are scaring you? Perhaps those can be addressed to help you feel better about taking it. Are you o any other medications? ## Hi, just the dizzines, blurry vision, and the most serious one which is a lump in my throat and not be able to breathe. But i was having discomfort just before going to work and I decided to take it, and guess what? No side effects what so ever, and it worked almost immediately! I'm glad I did! I also tak...

Can Dicyclomine 20mg (Watson 795) be used as a muscle relaxer for back pain? What are the side effects? ## No, Dicyclomine works specifically on smooth muscles, which are those that you have little control over, that work on their own in response to various stimuli in your body. These are the types of muscle found in your bladder, intestines, blood vessels and etc. Side effects may include: nausea, dry mouth and delirium. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I pulled my intercostal muscle and my doctor prescribed it for that pain and it worked beautiful and the muscle is finally healing!!

I've been on Bentyl (Dicyclomine) for 2 months and have been experiencing bad headaches among other side effects. I've recently stopped and I want to know how long will it remain in my system? ## Hi Terry, Sorry to hear about the horrible headaches. I hope you've gotten around to feeling better since the timing of your post. According to the MedsChat half-life calculator, Dicyclomine reportedly has a half-life of 3.5 hours. This means that every 3.5 hours, half of the dose you took is being excreted (and so forth). In most cases I'm aware of, medications tend to remain detectable in one's system for up to 3-5 half lives / or 2-5 days. I don't know how what dose of Dicyclomine you took or how frequently it was taken, but hopefully these ballpark figures can give y...

And the side effects of Dicyclomine may possibly include drowsiness, weakness, decrease in urination and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was given a GI cocktail of mylanta, lidocaine viscous and dicyclomine at the er. I went in with chest pains feeling really out of it, shortness of breath, had blisters on the roof of my mouth, tired and couldn't remain awake. It could've been due to an allergic reaction to tramadol pain pills which I got last Friday. A chest xray showed ACUTE bronchitis and chest pains. EKG twice was fine. Did it twice Tuesday and nothing came up, but when I drank that GI Cocktail when my throat got numb, it felt like I was suffocating. I could hardly breathe. It felt like my air intake was closing up on me. I could see in my mind what it felt like it was doing. Like you see pictures in the doctors office of plague built up in the artery and the little hole where the blood barely flows; that...

accidentally took cyclobenzaprine 10mg and dicyclomine 20mg together. Will this cause a negative interaction. ## Hello, Steph! How are you? They both decrease cholinergic effects, so there is a risk of problems occurring. Did you experience any ill effects? It would be best to make sure your doctor knows about this, to be safe. It could also intensify the side effects and you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual.
