Colicure Syrup

Colicure Syrup belongs to the class of ‘antispasmodic/anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’, primarily used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and acid peptic disease. Colicure Syrup reduces spasms (sudden involuntary contraction) of the muscles in the stomach and intestines. It effectively relieves stomach cramps, pain in the stomach and intestine, bloating, wind and discomfort.

Colicure Syrup contains ‘Dicyclomine’, also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. Colicure Syrup 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 in relaxing the smooth muscles and inhibits natural gut movements. Thus Colicure Syrup prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestines.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Common side effects of Colicure Syrup include dizziness, drowsiness, light-headedness, weakness, blurred vision, dry eyes, dry mouth, nausea, constipation and abdominal bloating. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor’s advice.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive or allergic to any medications. Before using Colicure Syrup, let your doctor know if you have liver, kidney or heart diseases and any other medical history. Colicure Syrup may cause blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Colicure Syrup. This medicine is not recommended for use in children below six months of age.

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.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to Colicure Syrup or its components. Colicure Syrup should be used with caution and only under doctor’s supervision if you have stomach/intestinal problems like slow gut, blockage, heartburn, acid reflux, ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the colon), little or no stomach acid 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, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), high blood pressure, heart diseases, nervous system disorders, drug addiction, myasthenia gravis (neuromuscular disorder) and hiatus hernia (stomach pushes into the chest cavity) before using Colicure Syrup. This medicine may cause blurry vision and sleepiness affecting your mental focus, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Let your doctor know if you are planning to conceive, are pregnant or are a nursing mother before starting Colicure Syrup.

• It is advised to monitor your blood pressure and blood glucose levels regularly while using Colicure Syrup.
• Your doctor may suggest diagnostic procedures like endoscopy or colonoscopy to understand your disease and its severity.
