Can Hyomax Sl Cause Dizziness With Visual Distortion?
I was prescribed hyomax sl by my GI doc. The one time I took it the dizziness, visual distortion, and feelings of impending doom suddenly made the gut twisting torture a better option at that time. I take no other meds and the stomach bowel issues are getting sever again. Am I likely to have the same reaction to hyomax if I take it again?

Hi,
Hyomax SL (hyoscyamine) is a medication used to treat certain gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and gastric ulcers. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle of the gut and decreasing spasms. Dizziness and visual disturbances are known side effects of hyoscyamine. However, not everyone will experience these side effects, and the severity of the side effects can vary from person to person. If you had a severe reaction to Hyomax SL, it may not be advisable to take it again without first consulting with your doctor.
If your stomach and bowel issues are getting severe again, you should talk to your doctor about alternative treatment options that may be better suited for you. Your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medication or recommend other therapies that could help alleviate your symptoms without causing side effects that are intolerable for you. It is important to communicate openly with your doctor about any concerns or adverse reactions you may have experienced with medication, as they can help guide you toward the best treatment options for your individual needs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
