Dicyclomine comes in the form of a capsule, to be taken orally usually 4 times a day. It can be taken with or without food. It is important to take this medication as prescribed by your doctor to ensure it is working optimally.
For reducing their risk of side effects, the doctor may advise them to start the medication at a low dose and incrementally increase it.
The initial recommended dose of Dicyclomine is 20 mg administered four times daily. After one week of treatment with this dose, it may be increased to 40 mg four times a day, unless side effects limit the dosage escalation. If the desired therapeutic effect is not seen within two weeks, or if side effects necessitate doses less than 80 mg daily, then the drug should be discontinued. There is no safety data available for doses higher than 80 mg daily for periods longer than two weeks.
