Hi,

Spasmo Proxyvon 20 mg (Dicyclomine) is Anticholinergic; Antispasmodic. It does not cause any drug dependence or withdrawal symptoms. But at the first place it is not clear why it needs to be taken daily for 10 years. You need to under go evaluation for any chronic condition for which antispasmodic needs to be taken so regularly. In any case you withdraw it slowly, say on alternate days-gradually lowering the dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
