Dicyclomine 20mg + Paracetamol 325mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Dicyclomine 20mg + Paracetamol 325mg combines dicyclomine, an antispasmodic, with paracetamol, an analgesic and fever reducer. It is used for abdominal cramp-type pain where smooth-muscle spasm contributes to discomfort, such as intestinal colic, menstrual cramps, or other clinician-assessed spasmodic pain. Dicyclomine relaxes smooth muscle in the gut by reducing acetylcholine-driven spasm, while paracetamol helps reduce pain. Dicyclomine can cause dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, urinary retention, fast heartbeat, and confusion, especially in older adults.

How to use

Take Dicyclomine 20mg + Paracetamol 325mg as prescribed, with water. Avoid alcohol and other paracetamol-containing products unless approved. Seek medical review for severe, persistent, worsening, or unexplained abdominal pain rather than repeating doses.

How it works

Dicyclomine reduces acetylcholine-mediated smooth-muscle spasm in the gut. Paracetamol acts centrally to reduce pain and fever.

Common side effects

Possible effects include dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, constipation, nausea, sleepiness, urinary difficulty, fast heartbeat, and stomach upset. Serious warning signs include severe abdominal pain, jaundice, confusion, allergic swelling, very high fever, or inability to pass urine.

Important information

Review glaucoma, urinary retention, prostate enlargement, bowel obstruction, severe ulcerative colitis, reflux disease, myasthenia gravis, liver disease, alcohol use, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other paracetamol products.
