Balagin Injection belongs to the class of ‘antispasmodic/anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents,’ primarily used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Balagin Injection reduces spasms (sudden involuntary contraction) of the muscles in the stomach and intestines. Irritable bowel syndrome is an intestinal disorder that causes stomach pain, wind, constipation, and diarrhoea.

Balagin Injection contains ‘Dicyclomine,’ also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. Balagin Injection blocks the activity of acetylcholine (acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to nerve cells) by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle. This process helps relax smooth muscles and inhibits natural gut movements. Thus it prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestine.

Balagin Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose based on your medical condition. It shows common side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, light-headedness, weakness, nervousness, blurred vision, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, and trouble sleeping. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any medications. Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, heart disease, or other medical histories before receiving Balagin Injection. Some antacids may inhibit the absorption of Balagin Injection; hence maintain a time gap between the intake of antacids and Balagin Injection. Balagin Injection may cause blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness; hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant and breastfeeding before taking Balagin Injection. This medicine is not recommended for children below six months of age.

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

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to Balagin Injection or its inactive components. Balagin Injection should be used with caution and only under doctor’s supervision if you have stomach/intestinal problems like slow gut, bowel blockage, acid reflux, ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the colon), and diarrhoea due to intestine surgeries like ileostomy and colostomy. Also, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney diseases, urinary retention problems (enlarged prostate), glaucoma, high blood pressure, heart diseases (irregular heart rhythm, coronary artery disease, heart failure), nervous system disorders, and myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness) before using Balagin Injection. This medicine may cause blurry vision and sleepiness affecting your mental focus; hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or a nursing mother before being treated with Balagin Injection.
