Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Colicon Drop is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and Dimethicone (anti-foaming agent), primarily taken to get relief from period pain, abdominal spasmodic pain, bloating, and general pain-related discomfort of the lower abdomen. Dicyclomine, being an antispasmodic, helps treat spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles. It also blocks certain chemical messengers in the brain, which cause pain sensation, hence relieving pain. Dimethicone is an anti-foaming agent; it helps to treat bloating and releases gas more easily. Collectively, both help to reduce abdominal pain caused by spasms, cramps, and gas formation.
