Product information

What Cyclopam Tablet is used for

• Stomach and intestinal cramps

• Fever of any cause
• Headache and migraine
• Toothache, earache and body ache
• Pain after minor injury or surgery

How it works

Dicyclomine

Dicyclomine blocks acetylcholine at the muscle of the gut wall, which stops the muscle from contracting into a painful spasm.

Paracetamol

Paracetamol blocks the production of prostaglandins in the brain — the chemical messengers that create the sensation of pain and push the body's temperature set-point up. It relieves pain and brings fever down but has very little effect on inflammation.

Common side effects

• Dry mouth
• Blurred vision
• Drowsiness
• Constipation
• Difficulty passing urine
• Generally very well tolerated at normal doses
• Nausea in some people
• Rash (uncommon)

Most side effects are mild and settle as your body adjusts. Tell your doctor if any of them persist or trouble you.

Safety advice

Quick tips

• Take about half an hour before food for the best effect on cramps
• Suck sugar-free sweets or sip water for the dry mouth
• Do not drive if your vision blurs
• Check the label of cold, flu and pain combination medicines — many already contain paracetamol, and doses add up
• Never exceed 4 grams (usually 8 tablets of 500 mg) in 24 hours for an adult
• If fever does not settle in 3 days, see a doctor rather than continuing on your own
