Product Introduction
Cyclopam Tablet is an antispasmodic-antipyretic combination of dicyclomine hydrochloride and paracetamol. The composition has made it indispensable, particularly for the management of acute and chronic abdominal pain.
Uses of Suspension
Although Cyclopam is available in an appropriate tablet dosage form, for children or patients who find it difficult to swallow tablets, a suspension form is usually used. The formulation is prepared for symptoms with the same efficacy as a liquid form for easier handling.
Benefits
- Pain Relief: Provides prompt relief from abdominal cramps, bloating, and discomfort.
- Reduction of Spasm: It acts successfully against muscle spasms of the gastro-intestinal tract.
- Fever and Inflammation: Paracetamol helps reduce a mild fever and inflammation and works alongside Dicyclomine’s spasm-relieving properties.
- Uses: It is useful for functional bowel disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain), and other disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
Side Effects
Cyclopam is generally well tolerated, although some individuals may experience:
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
- Constipation
- Allergic reactions (rare)
Doctor consultation is vital if the side effects do persist or worsen.
How to Use
- Timing: Preferably after meals, as this minimizes gastrointestinal irritation.
- To prepare suspension: shake well before use. Measure the exact dose using a spoon or cup.
How It Works
Cyclopam Tablet works by:
- Relieving Muscle Spasms: Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic targeting the smooth muscles in the digestive tract, hence reducing the contractions that cause the pain.
- Managing Pain: Because paracetamol inhibits certain chemical signals in the brain that contribute to pain perception, both are necessary for complete relief of abdominal pain.
Conclusion
Cyclopam Tablet is a proven and effective treatment for the relief of stomach pains and spasms caused by a variety of conditions. In either tablet form or liquid suspension, the drug is directed at easing the pain. As with all medication, this should be used under medical advice to ensure safe and effective use. Consult your medical practitioner if there is severe or persistent pain, or any sign of an unusual symptom.
