Spasmoctyl 40 Side Effects (Top voted first)

Updated

My husband and I are in Spain, so there is a language barrier with the doctor I saw 2 days ago. I was diagnosed with GERD and prescribed Spasmoctyl 40 2 or 3 times a day and also Omeprazol 20mg - 1 every 12 hours.
I have been having shortness of breath and diarrhea since I started taking these drugs. Is this common? I also have a loss of appetite.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Judy! How are you?

Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. This one is also the most likely cause of the diarrhea.

Spasmoctyl contains Otolinium Bromide, which is used to treat stomach or bowel spasms, it is most commonly used to treat IBS. Its most common side effects are listed as possibly including dry mouth, nausea and dizziness.

You should have the shortness of breath checked out, to be safe, but it could be just due to the GERD.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Like Judy. I live in Spain & have been prescribed the same medication.
I feel extremely dizzy at times & have problems with balance.
Now I know why, but no one warned me.
Thanks for that.
