Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Dicyclomine is used to treat a certain type of intestinal problem called irritable bowel syndrome. It helps to reduce the symptoms of stomach and intestinal cramping. This medication works by slowing the natural movements of the gut and by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and intestines.

For its use as an anti-flatulent agent, dimethicone 410 acts as an antifoaming agent and it works by reducing the surface tension of gas bubbles. This causes the combination of the bubbles to form larger bubbles in the stomach which can pass easily by means of belching.

The activity of dimethicone as an anti-flatulent agent prevents the formation of mucus surrounding the gas pockets in the gastrointestinal tract.
