Dolospa Oral Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines, Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Simethicone, an antifoaming medicine. It is used to treat stomach pain, bloating, and abdominal cramps, and pain associated with excessive acidity, gas, infections, and gastrointestinal tract diseases. It relaxes the muscles of the gut and absorbs the extra gas. Give the prescribed dose of Dolospa Oral Suspension to your child orally before a meal or as suggested by the doctor. Your child's doctor may prescribe this medicine for a few days to many days. But do not continue it for more than 2 weeks without consulting the doctor as excessive and long-term use may have adverse effects on your child. Additionally, do not abruptly stop the medicine by yourself as it may bring back the symptoms or worsen your child's condition.

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Dolospa Oral Suspension is to be taken with food.

Pregnancy Warning

Dolospa Oral Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines, Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Simethicone, 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, Simethicone disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

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. In children less than 2 months of age, do not give Dolospa Oral Suspension without ruling out the reasons that might be making your child cry. Give Dolospa Oral Suspension only if your child shows actual signs of abdominal discomfort or pain after consulting your child's doctor.
