What does it do?

Dicyclomine hydrochloride is an anticholinergic drug primarily used to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract. This ingredient helps reduce excessive contractions in the gastrointestinal tract, alleviating abdominal pain and discomfort.

Dicyclomine hydrochloride acts on the smooth muscles of the intestines and blocks the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. As a result, unnecessary contractions of the intestinal muscles are reduced, alleviating spasms and pain.
