Abdocool Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Clidinium, Chlordiazepoxide and Dicyclomine. Clidinium and Dicyclomine are antispasmodics which work by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). They stop sudden muscle contractions (spasms). This relieves cramps, pain, bloating and discomfort. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of GABA, a chemical messenger which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain.

If you are due to have an operation or any dental treatment, please tell the doctor carrying out the treatment that you are taking Abdocool Tablet. This is because Abdocool Tablet increases the effects of some anesthetics. If you have an enlarged prostate gland, glaucoma or trouble passing urine, inform your doctor.

If you develop any new symptoms or if your symptoms get worse, make an appointment to see your doctor for further advice.
