SPASMONIL DROPS is used in children to reduce stomach pain due to spasms, cramps, and bloating. It contains Dicyclomine and Dimethicone, which reduce spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing the sensation of pain. Also, it treats bloating and releases stomach gas more efficiently. Thus, it helps reduce muscle contractions and pain by acting on the intestine's inner lining, allowing gas bubbles to come together and relieving cramps and spasms. It may cause common side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, sleepiness, nausea, and headache. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if your child is allergic to any of its components, about all the medications your child is taking, and about pre-existing medical conditions.

About SPASMONIL DROPS

SPASMONIL DROPS is a drop or suspension prescribed to help relieve stomach pain, abdominal cramps, and trapped gas in infants and young children. It contains dicyclomine, which helps relax the muscles of the digestive tract, and dimethicone, which helps break up trapped gas bubbles so they can be passed more easily. Doctors may prescribe this medicine to help relieve symptoms of infant colic and other conditions that cause painful intestinal spasms.

For the best results, give this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor, usually before feeds or meals if advised. Try to give each dose at the same time every day. Along with the medicine, simple measures such as feeding your baby in a semi-upright position, burping during and after feeds, and avoiding overfeeding may help reduce colic and trapped gas.

Most children tolerate this medicine well. Mild side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, or dizziness are usually temporary and improve as the medicine wears off. However, stop giving the medicine and consult your doctor right away if your child develops severe drowsiness, difficulty breathing, a severe allergic reaction, or any other unusual symptoms.

Before giving SPASMONIL DROPS, tell your doctor if your child has any long-term medical conditions, especially stomach or intestinal blockage, severe gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), glaucoma, or urinary tract obstruction. Do not give this medicine to infants younger than 6 months of age unless specifically instructed by a doctor, as dicyclomine can cause serious side effects in very young infants.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines, drops, herbal products, or supplements your child is taking. Some medicines, including antihistamines and certain digestive medicines, may increase the risk of side effects or affect how this medicine works.

Uses of SPASMONIL DROPS

Your doctor may prescribe SPASMONIL DROPS to help manage the following conditions:

  • Infant colic: Helps relieve persistent crying associated with painful intestinal spasms in infants.
  • Abdominal cramps and spasms: Relaxes the muscles of the stomach and intestines to ease painful cramping.
  • Bloating and trapped gas: Helps break up trapped gas bubbles, making them easier to pass and reducing abdominal discomfort.

Key Benefits

SPASMONIL DROPS provides two-way relief by treating both painful intestinal muscle spasms and trapped gas, helping your child feel more comfortable.

  • Relieves painful stomach cramps: Dicyclomine helps relax the muscles of the digestive tract, reducing painful spasms.
  • Helps release trapped gas: Dimethicone combines small gas bubbles into larger ones, making them easier to burp or pass naturally.
  • Supports your baby's comfort: By reducing cramping and bloating, the medicine may help your baby settle more comfortably during and after feeds.

Directions for Use

  • SPASMONIL DROPS should be given before meals or as advised by your doctor.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication for effective results.
  • Administer the prescribed number of drops to the child using the dropper.
  • Wash the dropper after each use to maintain hygiene.

How SPASMONIL DROPS Works

SPASMONIL DROPS contains two active ingredients that work together to relieve stomach discomfort caused by intestinal spasms and trapped gas. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic medicine. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines by reducing the action of certain natural chemical signals that trigger muscle contractions. This helps relieve painful intestinal cramps and spasms. Dimethicone is an anti-foaming medicine. It reduces the surface tension of trapped gas bubbles in the digestive tract, allowing them to combine into larger bubbles that are easier to burp or pass naturally. This helps relieve bloating and discomfort caused by excess gas.

What if I have taken an overdose of SPASMONIL DROPS

If you think your child has received more than the prescribed dose, seek immediate medical attention or take your child to the nearest hospital immediately. Watch for symptoms such as severe drowsiness, hot or dry skin, unusually large pupils, difficulty breathing, or a fast heartbeat.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Feed your baby in an upright position: Keeping your baby in a semi-upright position during feeds may reduce the amount of air swallowed.
  • Burp your baby during and after feeds: Burping halfway through and after each feed can help release swallowed air before it reaches the intestines.
  • Try gentle leg movements: Gently move your baby's legs in a cycling motion towards the tummy to help trapped gas move through the intestines.
  • Use the correct bottle teat: If bottle-feeding, make sure the teat has an appropriate flow rate to reduce air swallowing.
  • Keep a feeding diary: If you are breastfeeding, recording your own diet and your baby's symptoms may help identify foods that seem to worsen colic.
