About Colonext Oral Suspension

DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE is an 'antispasmodic' (spasm and cramps reliever) agent containing Dicyclomine and Simethicone, primarily used for reducing stomach pain due to spasm, cramps, and bloating. Abdominal spasms are the acute condition in which the abdominal muscles (abs), intestine, and stomach contract severely. Stomach spasms can be caused due to muscle strain, dehydration, stomach gas formation, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, gastritis (stomach inflammation), pregnancy, constipation, or other gastrointestinal infection.

DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine and  Simethicone, primarily taken to get relief from period pain, spasmodic abdominal pain, bloating, and general pain-related discomfort of the lower abdomen. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic agent that reduces spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain, responsible for causing the sensation of pain. On the other hand, Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that treats bloating and releases stomach gas more efficiently. Together DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE helps in reducing muscle contractions and pain by acting on the inner lining of the intestine, allowing gas bubbles to come together relieving cramps and spasms.

DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE should only be if your doctor has prescribed you. It can be taken with or without food but at a fixed time for the best results. The course of DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE course should be completed as prescribed by your doctor for better results. Some common side effects of DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE are dryness in the mouth, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, sleepiness, and nausea. Please consult your doctor if an allergic reaction becomes severe.

DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE is pregnancy category B medicine so, its use in pregnant and nursing mothers is safe if prescribed by a doctor. Do not consume alcohol as it may cause excessive drowsiness when taken along with DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE. Before using DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE, tell your doctor if you ever had an allergy to DICYCLOMINE+SIMETHICONE, liver/kidney problems, irregular heartbeat, glaucoma, myasthenia gravis (muscle disease), and hypertension (high blood pressure), gastroesophageal reflux, hyperthyroidism, benign prostate hyperplasia.
