FAQs

DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML consists of Dicyclomine, an anticholinergic agent that treats irritable bowel syndrome. It works by relaxing the muscles and inhibiting natural gut movements, thus relieving muscle spasms and cramps in the stomach and intestine, abdominal pain, constipation and other gastrointestinal discomforts.

DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML should be used with caution if you have any liver, kidney or heart diseases, stomach and intestinal problems, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), nervous system disorders, glaucoma, urinary retention, and glaucoma (damage to the optic (eye) nerve).

Drug use can cause heat prostration (fever and heat stroke because of decreased sweating); it should be stopped, and supportive measures should be implemented.

Antacids may lower the absorption of DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML and reduce its efficacy. It is advised to take antacid and DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML with a time gap of two hours. Please seek medical advice for more information.

If you suffer from IBS, limit taking milk products, high-fibre foods, foods and drinks that contain chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, fructose, or sorbitol, carbonated drinks, and fried and fatty foods. Do not have large meals; instead, try having small and simpler meals at regular intervals, including fresh fruits and vegetables.

About DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML

DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML belongs to the class of ‘antispasmodic/anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents,’ primarily used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML 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.

DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML contains ‘Dicyclomine,’ also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML 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.

DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML 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 DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML. Some antacids may inhibit the absorption of DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML; hence maintain a time gap between the intake of antacids and DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML. DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML 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 DECOLIC AMPULE 2ML. This medicine is not recommended for children below six months of age.
