Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Stomach/Abdominal pain, Menstrual periodic cramps, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Medicinal Benefits:

Colinol Suspension is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and  Simethicone (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. Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent; it helps to treat bloating and releases gas more easily. Collectively, both help to reduce abdominal pain caused due to spasms, cramps and gas formation. Colinol Suspension can be used both by men and women.
