Hello and welcome to HCM
Cyclopam (dicyclomine hydrochloride) is used for irritable bowel syndrome.
It casues gastritis for which a proton pump inhibitor helps.
Other usual side effects of cyclopam are headache, flushing, nervousness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, insomnia, blurring of vision, nasal congestion and diffidult urination.
Some people can develop allergies to cyclopam in the form of skin rash, shortness of breath, chest pain and even anaphylactic shock.
You should report to your doctor in case you experience any of these features.
Cyclopam is contraindicated during breast feeding, hypertension, heart disease, hyperthyroidism, neuropathy or in male s with problem of prostate.
