Took One Dicetel, With Very Little Water, Pain In Stomach. Side Effect Of Med? Remedy?

Hi. A few nights ago I took one tablet (100mg) of Dicetel, with very little water and right before bedtime. I only realize now that I should not have done that. But the next morning I woke up with a big pain in my stomach. It is a few day now, and the pain is still there. It feels like an ulcer and I cannot get rid of it. Is it possible that that is one of the side effects of Dicetel? If it is, what should I do for remedy?

Hello, thanks for the query to H. C. M.C.
I think you have used this (dicetel) drug for the tt of I B S.
However the side effects are very less but have diarrhea, vomiting, constipation , dizziness , nausea, heart burn, dryness of mouth.
I BS is also produces these symptoms but constipation not present.
I B S for this you have to visit a physician and get a tt , you will get relief.
Till use blend diet, plenty of water ( hot).
Good luck Dr. HET

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The symptoms could be part of your original problem (Irritable Bowel)

At times tablets (more commonly capsule) can get stuck or irritate the food pipe, if not taken with adequate fluids...

Side effects of the drug are unlikely after several days...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
