Colicure Syrup contains ‘Dicyclomine’, also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine is an ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agent’ with antispasmodic activity. Colicure Syrup effectively treats irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and acid peptic disease. It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps in relaxing the smooth muscles, inhibits the natural gut movements, decreases gastric acid secretion and controls excessive GI secretions. Thus Colicure Syrup prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestines. Colicure Syrup is also used to relieve stomach cramps, bloating and pain in the stomach and intestine.
