Pharmacology
Indication: For the treatment of functional bowel/irritable bowel syndrome including Colicky abdominal pain; diverticulitis
Pharmacology:
Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic drug, a medication that reduces the effect of acetylcholine, a chemical released from nerves that stimulates muscles, by blocking the receptors for acetylcholine on smooth muscle (a type of muscle). It also has a direct relaxing effect on smooth muscle. Dicyclomine is used to treat or prevent spasm in the muscles o...

Mechanism of Action: Action is achieved via a dual mechanism: (1) a specific anticholinergic effect (antimuscarinic) at the acetylcholine-receptor sites and (2) a direct effect upon smooth muscle (musculotropic).
Protein binding: >99%
Route of elimination: The principal route of elimination is via the urine (79.5% of the dose). Excretion also occurs in the feces, but to a lesser extent (8.4%).
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
Interactions
Food interaction:
Avoid alcohol.
Take this medication 30 minutes before meals.
Drug interaction:
TrimethobenzamideTrimethobenzamide and Dicyclomine, two anticholinergics, may cause additive anticholinergic effects and enhance their adverse/toxic effects. Monitor for enhanced anticholinergic effects.
TacrineThe therapeutic effects of the central acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, Tacrine, and/or the anticholinergic, Dicyclomine, may be reduced due to antagonism. The interaction may be beneficial when the anticholinergic action is a side effect. Monitor for decreased efficacy of both agents.
DonepezilPossible antagonism of action
