Introduction
Centwin Suspension is a medication that helps treat stomach pain, bloating, and abdominal cramps caused due to acidity, gas, infections, or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in children. It works by relaxing the muscles of the gut and absorbing extra gas. Centwin Suspension also helps control the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Directions for Use
Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting pain in your stomach.
How it works
Centwin Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Dimethicone, an antifoaming medicine. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms) thereby relieving abdominal cramps and pain. Whereas the antifoaming medicine disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.
Quick Tips
Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting pain in your stomach. Give your child a diet that is rich in fiber and low in fermentable sugars. Avoid giving gas-producing foods to your child such as beans, onions, carrots, raisins, and bananas. Encourage your child to exercise daily as it has potential benefits in constipation and in improving overall wellbeing.

Frequently asked questions
My child is experiencing abdominal pain along with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. Is Centwin Suspension appropriate for their condition?
The presented symptoms, such as abdominal pain alongside nausea, vomiting, and photophobia, could potentially indicate a diagnosis of abdominal migraine which involves recurrent episodes of dull or moderate to severe abdominal pain lasting at least six months. These symptoms typically occur in the midline or are poorly localized. It's crucial to rule out this type of abdominal pain before administering Centwin Suspension.
What specific tests should my child undergo if they experience abdominal pain?
A doctor may recommend an abdominal ultrasound for routine examination in such cases. If the condition is more serious, a further assessment via endoscopy and esophageal pH monitoring may be considered.
In which medical conditions should Centwin Suspension not be used?
Centwin Suspension's use should be avoided in situations of obstructive or inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract. This includes, but is not limited to, heartburn, unstable cardiovascular diseases, obstructive uropathy, glaucoma, muscle weakness disorders, liver impairment, hyperthyroidism, neuropathy, and kidney impairment.
Can other medications be given simultaneously with Centwin Suspension?
It's important to inform your doctor about all the medications your child is currently taking before starting Centwin Suspension. It's also advisable to check with your child’s physician regarding administering any additional medication.
How should Centwin Suspension be stored?
Centwin Suspension should be stored at room temperature, in a dry location, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Additionally, keep all medications out of the reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
