Why would this drug be used in a weight loss program? ## I honestly can't say, I read over some more information on it just to be certain that I was remembering correctly, but I didn't find anything that made sense for it to be used to aid in weight loss. Learn more Dicyclomine details here. Do you know someone that's using it for that? ## Dicyclomine has been shown to be associated with an increased incidence of anorexia nervosa-like symptoms as a side effect due to the slowing of the peristolsis (locomotion / contractions) of the GI tract. ## It causes the stomach to empty slower which increases the time you feel full. ## Is anyone having severe cramping after you take it? Feels like contrations for real. ## I have been prescribed Dicyclomine for spasms this week and I hav...

Can Dicyclomine cause constipation as a side effect? ## It would make sense because it is an anti-spasmodic, it would therefore slow normal bowel function. Drink lots of water & eat fresh fruit!! ## Yes, Dicyclomine has been known to cause constipation as a side effect, along with nausea, dry mouth, and vomiting, according to FDA reports.

Need to know if cyclopam can be given to kids of age 8 suffering from stomach infection. ## Yesm my dictor gave it y o my little b a by. Half tab ## There are several formulations of this medication, but none of them contain anything that will treat an infection. That usually requires an antibiotic, if it is a bacterial infection, according to NIH studies. And when it comes to children, it is always best to err on the side of caution and consult their doctor. The main ingredient in all formulations is Dicyclomine, which helps treat gastrointestinal spasming, it will also not doing anything to help with any type of infection, be it bacterial, or viral, according to FDA studies. Are there any other questions?

Spasmo proxyvon is a medically proved drug. Is there a substitute available? ## Spasmo-Proxyvon contains the active ingredient dicycloverine hydrochloride (also known as dicyclomine). Dicyclomine is used to treat the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, and is in a class of medications called anticholinergics. It is supposed to relieve muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract by blocking the activity of a certain natural substance in the body. As far as finding a substitute goes, it would probably be best to look for something within the same drug class of anticholinergics. This way you can at least be sure that the medication is working in a similar fashion. However not all anticholinergics are created equally, so I would always recommend talking with your doctor first about the mo...

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 was hurting for months and thought it was my liver!

I am on day 3 OF NITROFURAN MONOHYD MACRO 100MG 100 mg for urinary track infection every 12hrs, I have problems with my stomach and have been prescribed DICYCLOMINE 10MG/5ML. (1/2 hr before meals) Is safe to take while taking NUTRIFURAN? ## Hi Virnia, Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between Nitrofurantoin and Dicyclomine. So just going off that information alone, I don't think there should be any problems using the two together (outside of each medication's own general side effects). However, if you still have any reservations about taking them, it may be best to call your doctor up and verify that it's ok with him as well. Was it the same doctor who prescribed you the Nitrofurantoin, that also give you the script for Dicyclomine? ## Does macrobid...

I am dealing with tinnitus and I have anxiety issues. My Dr prescribed dicyclomine. Is this going to help, because everything I am reading says this is for IBS? ## Hello, Glenn! How are you? You are correct, that is an odd medication to treat such issues, because it works by causing the smooth muscles of your stomach and intestines to relax according to FDA reports, thus it isn't likely to help with either condition that you are experiencing. Is this the only medication he prescribed? Did you ask him about why he prescribed it? ## I take bentyl.. works good for IBS. But tinnitus?? Nah! Hey Glenn.. Do you have a sister???

Why would I be prescribed this medication if I suffer from constipation? ## This medication can actually help reduce the pain your experiencing due to this condition, until you can see the specialist for furthe...

If so which ones? How long to flush them out of my system? Even with my script I can't have them for school purposes.

cyclopam using really leads to weight gain?? ## Hi Kimmy, From what I could gather, Cyclopam contains the active ingredients Dicyclomine 20mg + Paracetamol 500mg. As far as weight gain is concerned, neither ingredient appears to list that as a possible side effect. However Dicyclomine on the other hand does list "gas or bloating" on the webpage for the US National Library of Medicine. Would you describe your weight gain as a feeling of fullness in the belly? If so, perhaps some digestive enzymes and probiotics may help alleviate those symptoms. I hope this helps! ## I have been on liness dicyclomine and promethazine and have gained a lot of weight is this common?

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?
