About Coligon 20mg Tablet

Coligon 20mg Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'antispasmodics' (spasm and cramps reliever) primarily used for reducing stomach pain due to spasms, cramps, and irritable bowel syndrome. Abdominal spasm is a condition in which the abdominal muscles, intestine, and stomach contract severely. Stomach spasms can be caused due to muscle strain, dehydration, stomach gas formation, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, gastritis (stomach inflammation), pregnancy, constipation, or other gastrointestinal infection.

Coligon 20mg Tablet contains “Dicycloverine”, which reduces spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing the sensation of pain.

You are advised to take Coligon 20mg Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as dryness in the mouth, dizziness, weakness, blurred vision, nervousness, sleepiness, constipation, difficulty urination, and nausea. Most of the side effects of Coligon 20mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Please consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
