This is the only drug that has helped me with the pain and discomfort of IBS. I was first precrisbed bellatal which made me feel awful, but i have not had any issues with this drug. Once in a while I will feel a little tired taking it, but otherwise it has worked wonders for me!

Works very well! I don't know what I would do without it! It does ease menstrual cramps as well I have found. Only draw back is that it does make me a little tired and sluggish.

I have gone from planning my days based on where the nearest toilets would be, to going where I want and not having to worry. I am so glad to have my life back and it's all thanks to Dicyclomine.

I've been on this medicine for over 15 years on and off. For me the is the best way in controlling my IBS. I don't have to deal with the pain of cramping intestines.
