CompositionCyclopam Injection is used to relieve painful spasms and cramps of the stomach and intestines. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing dicyclomine, which belongs to a class of medicines called antispasmodics (anticholinergics).
This medicine is also used to relieve cramping pain linked to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colicky pain from spasms of the bowel. It relaxes the muscles of the gut, easing cramps and abdominal pain. It is given by a healthcare professional as an injection into a muscle only, not into a vein, usually for a short time until tablets can be taken.
Once you can eat, choosing light, non-spicy meals and drinking enough fluids can help settle the stomach. Avoiding fizzy drinks and large meals may reduce cramps.
Before receiving this injection, tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, difficulty passing urine or an enlarged prostate, a bowel blockage, severe ulcerative colitis, myasthenia gravis, a fast heartbeat or heart disease, and about other medicines you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It may cause blurred vision or dizziness, so do not drive if affected. Tell your healthcare team if you have severe pain, fever or vomiting. Do not stop the treatment unless your doctor advises you to do so.
