What Is Dicyclomine 10mg?

Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic medication, best known under the brand name Bentyl, that treats the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional bowel disorders. It works by blocking certain nerve signals and directly relaxing the smooth muscle of the intestines, which helps reduce painful cramping and spasms. Dicyclomine 10mg tablets are taken by mouth, typically several times a day as directed by your prescriber. It manages symptoms but does not cure the underlying condition, so it is used as part of an overall treatment plan.
