Medicinal Benefits

Dicipam 10mg Injection contains ‘Dicyclomine,’ also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine is an ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agent’ with antispasmodic activity. Dicipam 10mg 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. Dicipam 10mg Injection is also used to relieve stomach cramps, bloating, and pain in the stomach and intestine.
