About Dicyclomine+magaldrate+oxetacaine
Dicyclomine+magaldrate+oxetacaine belongs to a class of medications called gastrointestinal agents. These medications treat abdominal pain, heartburn, and acidity. Abdominal pain is any discomfort experienced between the ribs and pelvis. Commonly known as 'stomach pain' or a 'stomachache,' it is important to understand that the pain may originate from organs other than the stomach.
Dicyclomine+magaldrate+oxetacaine is a combination medicine that contains three active components: Dicyclomine, Magaldrate, and Oxetacaine. Dicyclomine works by blocking muscarinic receptors on the smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing painful spasms and cramps. Magaldrate helps to increase gastric pH and neutralize gastric acids. Oxetacaine temporarily numbs sensation and reduces stomach acidity by raising pH levels, providing relief from discomfort.
Common side effects you may experience include constipation, diarrhoea, headache, nausea, vomiting, a chalky taste, fecal impaction, and stomach cramps. Most of these side effects are temporary and usually do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor immediately.
