How it Works

Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic that relaxes the muscles in the stomach and intestines, stopping sudden muscle contractions (spasms). This action relieves cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Loperamide is an opioid agonist that decreases intestinal contractions, making stools more solid and less frequent.
