Pregnancy Interaction

• Dicyclomine: Not a good idea to take during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. Not a lot of human evidence; taking it close to delivery could make it hard for a baby to breathe.
• Paracetamol: When taken in the right amounts, it is usually safe to take during pregnancy.
• Mefenamic Acid Variant (if applicable): Don't take it if you're pregnant, especially in the third trimester, because it could cause problems with the fetal kidneys and close the ductus arteriosus too soon.
• In general, pregnant women should only take Spastone Tablets with a doctor's permission. It is not a good idea to treat yourself.

Q3. Can I use it for pain during my period?

Expert advice

• Not good for people with glaucoma, enlarged prostate, blocked intestines, or severe liver or renal problems.

How It Works

• Dicyclomine: Relaxes the smooth muscles of the stomach, uterus, and intestines, which lessens cramps and spasms.
• Paracetamol and mefenamic acid block chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which helps relieve pain.
• Together, they work quickly and well to relieve spasmodic pain.

Medicine interaction

• Alcohol makes you sleepy and hurts your liver.
• Antihistamines, antidepressants, and antipsychotics all make you sleepier.
• Antacids may make it harder for the body to absorb dicyclomine.
• Blood thinners (such as warfarin) can interact with different types of NSAIDs.
• Other medications with paracetamol in them can cause an overdose.
• Always let your doctor know about:
• Medicines for the heart
• Medicines that stop allergies
• Medicines for mental health
• Pain relievers or antispasmodics

How to Use

• Take one tablet once or twice a day, or as directed.
• Take it with water and swallow it completely.
