Description:

Doverin 40 mg Tablet contains Dicyclomine, which is an antispasmodic medication. It works by relaxing the muscles in the gut, reducing spasms, and helping relieve discomfort caused by conditions that affect the digestive system. It is most commonly used to treat gastrointestinal conditions that cause pain and spasms, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive tract issues.

Dicyclomine, the active ingredient, blocks the action of acetylcholine, a substance in the body that can cause muscles in the gastrointestinal tract to contract excessively. By relaxing these muscles, Doverin helps reduce the pain, bloating, and discomfort associated with digestive spasms.

Indications:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Doverin is often prescribed to help manage IBS symptoms, such as abdominal cramps, bloating, and diarrhea.

• Gastrointestinal Spasms: It is used to relieve spasms in the intestines or other parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

• Gastritis or Other Digestive Disorders: It may also be helpful in conditions like gastritis, where the stomach lining becomes inflamed, or in other gastrointestinal conditions that involve muscle spasms.

Dosage and Administration:

• General Dosage:

  • The usual recommended dose for adults is 40 mg, taken 2 to 3 times per day.

  • The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

• Adjustments:

  • Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your symptoms, response to treatment, and individual health needs.

• Missed Dose:

  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your normal dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
