What Is Dicyclomine Used For?

Dicyclomine, marketed under the brand name Bentyl, belongs to a class of medications known as antispasmodic and anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) drugs. Dicyclomine is sometimes prescribed to people who need treatment for certain types of gastrointestinal conditions, including functional bowel and irritable bowel syndrome - similar to linaclotide (Linzess). Dicyclomine is thought to have a mechanism of action that involves relaxing smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract through interactions at acetylcholine-receptor sites and antagonism of bradykinin- and histamine-induced muscle spasms. This combination of actions can help dicyclomine improve symptoms related to motility issues in the gastrointestinal tract in some people.
