Treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome Treatment of Abdominal pain

Colpep Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines: dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and dimethicone, an antifoaming medicine. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving abdominal cramps and pain. Whereas, dimethicone disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

Shake the bottle well before each dose and measure it with the cup, spoon or dropper supplied — a kitchen spoon is not an accurate measure. Take it before meals or when cramps begin. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Colpep Suspension does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-

Severe abdominal pain, particularly with fever or vomiting, needs a doctor rather than a painkiller or antispasmodic. May cause blurred vision and drowsiness — do not drive until you know how it affects you. Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, an enlarged prostate or difficulty passing urine. This is for short-term relief. See a doctor if you need it most days for more than a couple of weeks. Seek urgent care for chest pain that spreads to the arm or jaw, comes with sweating or breathlessness — do not assume it is acidity. Antacids interfere with the absorption of many other medicines. Take them at least two hours apart from anything else.

Adds to the dry mouth, constipation and drowsiness caused by antihistamines and some antidepressants. Reduces the absorption of thyroid tablets, iron, and several antibiotics — separate them by at least two hours.
