Dicdic 20mg/50mg Tablet is used to treat Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and abdominal cramps occurring due to dysmenorrhea (painful irregular periods). It contains Dicyclomine and Diclofenac, which helps to relax the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine), thus preventing sudden muscle contractions (spasms), relieving cramps, bloating, pain and discomfort. Also, it blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that lead to inflammation (swelling) and abdominal pain. It may cause common side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sleepiness, dryness in the mouth, weakness, dizziness, nervousness, heartburn, and blurred vision. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
