Conditions treated by dicyclomine
The main use of dicyclomine is for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine and causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, and changes in bowel habits. Dicyclomine helps to reduce these symptoms by relaxing the muscles in the intestines, thus relieving pain and improving bowel function.
Additionally, dicyclomine may also be prescribed to treat other gastrointestinal conditions such as functional bowel disorders, including spastic colon, colitis, and diverticulitis. It can help alleviate abdominal pain, cramps, and discomfort associated with these conditions.
Furthermore, dicyclomine can be used as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of peptic ulcers. By reducing the activity of the smooth muscles in the stomach and intestines, dicyclomine helps to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by peptic ulcers.
How does dicyclomine work?
Dicyclomine belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by relaxing the muscles in the gut and slowing down the natural movements of the intestines. This helps reduce symptoms of abdominal pain and discomfort associated with IBS.
Forms of dicyclomine available
Dicyclomine is available in the form of oral tablets and capsules.
Dosage of dicyclomine
The dosage of dicyclomine may vary depending on the individual’s specific condition and response to treatment. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions and drug information provided by the healthcare provider.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Directions for dicyclomine use
Dicyclomine should be taken exactly as directed by the healthcare provider. The tablets or capsules are usually taken orally, with or without food. It is important to swallow them whole and not crush or chew them.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Drug interactions for dicyclomine
Dicyclomine may interact with the following medications:
- Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic medication, so taking it with other anticholinergic drugs can increase the risk of side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and urinary retention. Examples of anticholinergic drugs include diphenhydramine, oxybutynin, and tolterodine
- Combining dicyclomine with other medications used to treat gastrointestinal conditions, such as antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, may reduce dicyclomine’s effectiveness. It is best to separate the administration of these medications by a few hours
- Dicyclomine should not be taken with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of stopping MAOIs. This combination can lead to a serious condition called serotonin syndrome, which includes symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, rapid heartbeat, fever, and seizures
- Certain medications, such as tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline and antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine, can increase the risk of dicyclomine’s side effects. It is important to discuss the use of these medications with your healthcare provider
Warnings and precautions for dicyclomine
- Dicyclomine may have certain risks and potential side effects. Discussing these with a healthcare provider before starting the medication is important

- Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements
- Caution should be taken with certain medical conditions such as autonomic neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, glaucoma, severe ulcerative colitis, enlarged prostate, liver problems, and kidney problems

The use of dicyclomine during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare provider. It should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
Possible side effects of dicyclomine
Common side effects of dicyclomine may include:
- Dry mouth: This is one of the most common adverse effects of dicyclomine. It can make your mouth feel dry and uncomfortable. Drinking plenty of water and using sugar-free gum or lozenges may help relieve this symptom
- Blurred vision: Dicyclomine can affect your vision, causing it to become temporarily blurred. It is important to avoid activities that require clear vision, such as driving, until your vision returns to normal
- Dicyclomine may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly. It is recommended to get up slowly from a sitting or lying position to minimize this side effect
- Some individuals may experience constipation while taking dicyclomine. If this becomes problematic, your healthcare provider may suggest dietary changes, increased fluid intake, or other measures to relieve constipation
- Although rare, dicyclomine can cause nausea and vomiting in some people. If you experience these symptoms, it is important to let your healthcare provider know
- Dicyclomine can affect the muscles in the urinary tract, potentially leading to difficulty urinating. If you experience any changes in urination patterns or have trouble emptying your bladder, contact your healthcare provider
Serious side effects are rare but can occur. Promptly report any concerning symptoms to a healthcare provider. While rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to dicyclomine.
