Description
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride And Activated Dimethicone Drops is a medicine that helps with stomach pain caused by spasms, cramps, and bloating. Stomach spasms happen when the muscles in the abdomen, intestines, and stomach contract intensely and are caused by various factors like muscle strain, dehydration, gas buildup in the stomach, and conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride And Activated Dimethicone Drops contains two ingredients: Dicyclomine and Dimethicone. Dicyclomine relaxes muscles and blocks certain chemicals in the brain that cause pain sensations. Dimethicone helps to reduce bloating and improves the release of stomach gas. Together, this composition works to lessen muscle contractions and pain by acting on the inner lining of the intestine, allowing gas bubbles to come, and relieving cramps and spasms.
