How long will Dicyclomine HCL remain usable past the expiration date? ## According to Solco Healthcare, the shelf-life of Bentyl (Dicyclomine) capsules [NDC 43547-634] is listed as 24 months (or 2 years): solcohealthcare.com/product/dicyclomine-capsules However, the following article from the FDA suggests that the listed 2 year shelf-life for Dicyclomine is arbitrary at best, as they declared certain lots of Doxycycline hyclate 100 mg capsules to be eligible for use beyond the manufacturer’s labeled expiration date by up to 7 YEARS for the purpose of strategic reserves and emergency preparedness: fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/expiration-date-extensions-certain-lots-doxycycline-hyclate-capsules “Most of what is known abo...

Round light blue pill blank on one side and 555 on the top 126 on the bottom of the other side no score ## Hello, Todd! How are you? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find an identification for this, yet. They seem to be old tablets that are no longer manufactured, as from other posts I've found they were said to be found in the homes of elderly deceased relatives. Thus finding an ID may be a bit difficult. However, I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. Does anyone else recognize these tablets? ## I found a few of these mixed in with some 10mg Dicyclomine Capsules after my mom died. This DOES NOT constitute a definite identification because I can't find them listed anywhere else either, but at least it's a place to start.

Can Spasmo Proxyvon be used for pain relief in Prostate area for a man of 47 yrs age? ## Spasmo Proxyvon contains: dicyclomine hydrochloride 10 mg + acetaminophen 400 mg + propoxyphene napsylate 100 mg. The combination of these creates a very mild narcotic pain killer. If you do have pain in the prostate area, I would honestly consider diagnosing the underlying cause of this inflammation/pain to better decide how to treat it instead of covering up the pain temporarily. ## substitute for spamo proxyvon or other same kind of medicines. ## Yes, it can used to relieve pain in any area or any parts of the body. But, consumptions of excessive medicine can cause overdose or death. If you took an average dose it can even cure some minor and critical pain forever.

diclopamine ## I have not seen any information in my research on a substance called Diclopamine and wonder if it may be a misspelling for Dicyclomine or Cyclopamine? Dicyclomine is most commonly known for treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) It works by relieving muscle spasms in the G.I. tract by blocking the activity of a certain natural substance in the body. Drug Class: anticholinergics Cyclopamine is a naturally occurring chemical that belongs in the family of steroidal alkaloids. According to NIH.gov, Cyclopamine has both teratogenic and antitumor activities. However, on a cautionary note, it has also been stated that Cyclopamine is a teratogen isolated from the corn lily (Veratrum californicum) that causes fatal birth defects. I hope this info helps!

I have been using Spasmo Proxyvon from two years and now i want leave it but due to it's side effect i am unable to do so. Therefore i would be grateful if any one has the other alternative. ## Spasmo Proxyvon contains the active ingredients Dicyclomine, Acetaminophen and Propoxyphene, and this last one is a mild narcotic and can be addicting. It has been pulled from the market in most countries, due to the risk it causes of cardiac dangers. However, due to that and the fact that you have been taking it for so long, your best chance for stopping this medication is probably to seek medical assistance from a doctor. Learn more Propoxyphene information here. Have you tried tapering off of it? ## hi sir i m very sceard and my muscles are pain regurlarly i take 10to12 spasmo proxyvon pil...

If Cyclopam is not available, will Paracad work for stomach pain? ## I'm looking for relief from stomach pain and Cyclopam gives me dry mouth. What is an alternative? ## Cyclopan contains Dicyclomine, it is most commonly used to treat stomach and intestinal issues, but Paracad contains Paracetamol, which is used to treat pain, and fever, so no they are not comparable. You should take the one your doctor has instructed you to take. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach irritation. Arun, what is causing your stomach pain?

dark blue capsule. rugby 3367 ## I had a time finding this one! It is Dicyclomine 10mg, or brand name Bentyl. Basically, it is an anti-diarrhea medication. Used especially for those who have Irritable bowel syndrom, some types of stomach viruses with lots of diarrhea, and stomach cramping. Side effects include drowsiness, nausea, headache, among others. ## While the identification is correct, it is really used to treat various gastrointestinal problems, not just diarrhea. It is an antispasmodic so it helps treat the cramping, issues associated with IBS, and other such problems. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and bloating. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is a round blue pill with the emblem..."W" over a "90" on one side and blank on the other? ## Hi Heath, Is there any chance that you might be reading the imprint upside down? I only ask because I found a round blue pill with an imprint of "M" over "D6" on one side and blank on the other. The letter "D" is rounded off so it actually looks very similar to a "0". This particular pill is reportedly identified as Dicyclomine hydrochloride (20 mg), made by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. The tablet itself is approx. 7mm in size. You can also view an image of the pill by clicking on the following National Drug Code link: 0378-1620 I hope this helps!

Is this medicine used by drug users? Is it a pain med? ## The capsule with this marking is listed containing 10mgs of Dicyclomine, it is most commonly used to treat GI issues, such as IBS. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea. No, it is not something used to treat general pain, and is not normally abused. Is there anything else I can help with?
