About Colicure Syrup

Colicure Syrup belongs to the class of ‘antispasmodic/anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’, primarily used to treat functional bowel or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and acid peptic disease. Colicure Syrup reduces spasms (sudden involuntary contraction) of the muscles in the stomach and intestines. It effectively relieves stomach cramps, pain in the stomach and intestine, bloating, wind and discomfort.

Colicure Syrup contains ‘Dicyclomine’, also known as Dicycloverine. Dicyclomine belongs to the class of ‘anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents’ with antispasmodic activity. Colicure Syrup 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 in relaxing the smooth muscles and inhibits natural gut movements. Thus Colicure Syrup prevents spasms in the muscles of the stomach and intestines.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Common side effects of Colicure Syrup include dizziness, drowsiness, light-headedness, weakness, blurred vision, dry eyes, dry mouth, nausea, constipation and abdominal bloating. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor’s advice.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive or allergic to any medications. Before using Colicure Syrup, let your doctor know if you have liver, kidney or heart diseases and any other medical history. Colicure Syrup may cause blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Colicure Syrup. This medicine is not recommended for use in children below six months of age.
