I was given this pill and told it was from puerto rico when visiting but told me she took it from her niece wwho was getting high from it. its not tiny but a small white round pill thats scored on 1 side aand 20 on the other. ## Hi Maria, I don't know if this pill could be related, but from what I'm finding online the closest match is a white round pill with "10" on one side and scored on the other; just like how you described it. I was initially thinking that they might be the same drug with a lesser dosage, but this particular pill I came across is made here in the US. It's identified as a 10mg Hyoscyamine sulfate tablet, used for GI tract disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and other related conditions. I noticed that they also make a 20mg version as well, ...

Hi I have IBS and was prescribed bentyl which iv been on before. My question is to know how long it remains in your system. The reason I ask is I am still parochially breastfeeding. I know I can not take it while I breast freed but is there a window before each pill that I could breastfeed. Example would be take a pill in the am an the following am breastfeed before I take my next pill ## Hello, Trinity! How are you? No, due to the way it processed through the body and can linger in the breast milk, it's use should just be avoided, while breast feeding. Side effects to this medication may include drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision and stuffy nose. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother's nursing home says they can no longer give my mother this drug because it is no longer being made. Is this true? Two days without the drug and she starts throwing up from too much saliva in her stomach. She is 89 and will die without it. Is there another equivalant drug avaliable?? Please tell me where to turn. Thanks so much. Virginia Holloway Baton Rouge, La. vaholloway at aol ## Hi Virginia, From what I found, it is just a rumor that it has been withdrawn from the market. "RUMOR: Hyoscyamine (Levsin, Levbid, etc) is going off the market. TRUTH: All hyoscyamine products are unapproved. They came on the market before FDA approval was required. The FDA hasn't taken any action against these products...yet. But several companies have voluntarily withdrawn their prod...

Im 22 yrs ihave problem in during my peroid pain in abdomen some time in right side or left my docter suggest me tab dritin ds but still my abdomen is paining during periods plis suggest me. ## Drotin-DS contains the active ingredient Drotaverine, which is an antispasmodic. Learn more Drotin-DS details here. Thus, it will only help you if your pain has been caused by muscle cramping and spasming, which does happen to someone women during their menstrual cycle, or when ovulating. Since it hasn't helped you, there could be something else that's causing your problem, such as ovarian cysts. If they occur in both ovaries, they have been known to cycle, with one flaring on one side one month, then the other side flaring the following month. Have you had any testing done? ## TU hv pain...

I contacted Valeant Assistance Drug Program and I was faxed the proper papers to complete and have my Gastro. Doc. fill out and submit a script along with my SS earnings for 2013. This was done on 7/7/14. If would be approved the drug would cost me nothing!! Well this afternoon (7/22/14) I received a call from them and they did not approve me for the drug because I have AVMED/Medicare even though my insurance will not fill the script. This really sucks. What does a person have to do to get the proper medicine for IBS. Bentyl doesn't work, I got very sick from it. I am clueless and very upset about this. ## Hello, Janice! How are you?

What herbal or over the counter meds show up in a urinalysis as benzos? Please help!!! ## There are quite a few that can cause false positives, far too many to list them all for you. Can you post back with a list of products/medications you were taking? If so, I will gladly check for you. ## I am allowed 300 mg. of Trazadone daily, but recently took 3 mg. of Vailum, about 3 days before urine test. Will it come out positive, or can it been seen as a false positive from the Trazadone? ## My son has taken a prescribed muscle relaxer and pain reliever for back pain and also takes Bentyl for his Acne and also takes Garcinia Cambugia for weight loss and his urine showed up positive for Benzoids. Are any of these related as to his positive?

Doctor prescribed trepeline for treatment of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) about 5 years ago as its supposed to slow down my stomach digestion process. Im not too convinced, are there any natural medicines I can take instead of trepeline? Reduced dosage down to 10mg and only take 1 in a 3 day cycle, I have trouble sleeping if I stay off it for longer than 3 days... Stomach starts running too. ## Hello, Deepguy! How are you? Yes, if you stop it without doing a very slow taper, you will experience some withdrawal effects, such as what you've described. The difference between it and the natural stuff is that this medication is actually proven to work. The natural substances aren't, so of course your doctor is going to want you to take something that has been proven to have the des...

I HAD MY PACEMAKER ON 24.03.14. DUE TO COPD IWAS PRESCRIBED OMNACORTIL 30MG FOR 2WKS AND THEN TAPPERED TO 20MG FOR ANOTHER 2 WKS. WITHIN 2 WKS MY STOMACH UPSETS SEVERELY & MY DOCTOR CURED IT WITH SATROGYL O. NOW , MY BP REMAINS VERY LOW, SOMETIMES EVEN BELOW 100-65. NOW I AM PRECRIBED WITH CARNI Q AND LIBRAX. WHY I AM PRESCRIBED WITH THESE MEDICINES?

I recently went on to AvMed/Medicare in July 2013 and now my Librax and generic are not covered by Medicare. I was given Bentyl and took it for a few weeks and got very, very sick from it. It took about 3 weeks to finally get the Bentyl out of my system.I think this is outrageous that they do not cover for this medication. I started taking it in Nov. 2011 and had great results. I have battling this since I was 24 and now I am 65 and was so happy to finally start to feel good. When I worked they always deducted for Medicare and we have a deduction on our monthy SS checks so why can't we get what we need. In the long run people will be going to the doctor's more often and having test and will cost the insurance company more money. Looks like we have to be indegent or come off a bo...

Can I take Bentyl that expired 8/10, 9 months ago? ## As with anything, whether it be drugs, food or drink, you should not take them if they are out of date. The date is on the packet for your safety, and you could experience more adverse effects from taking out of date medication. Also some medications can begin to loose their effectiveness passed the expiration date, so it would be best in your case to just request a new prescription given the length of time that it has been out of date. However, if you'd really like to be certain about the pills degradation, you would have to take them to a lab and have them evaluated for quality assurance. I don't know how to go about that procedure, but I am sure it will be cheaper and less stressful to just get a refill. ## Check with your...

Does dicyclomine by Actavis Pharmaceuticals (generic Bentyl) 20 mg tablets contain gluten or gluten in inert ingredients? It was prescribed to me for the pain & spasms from EATING gluten. I have Celiac's Disease, but many times doctors have prescribed for for my Celiac Disease pain drugs that CONTAIN GLUTEN !! ## Hello, Tutu! How are you? What are the markings on it? The manufacturer listed on the pharmacy label is sometimes just a licensed distributor, so I cannot check the ingredients with this information to be certain of which company made it. Thank you!

I have been told by my Dr that I have stasis dermetitis. I have been put on 1500 mg of sodium per day. I have been on this diet for approximately 3 months and am still struggling with water retention. I also take a lot of meds for pain along with amitiza for constipation, so would like to know if any of the meds I am on contain sodium. I truly count and weight all my food so I do not go over.

I need to buy Sertal Compuesto in Los Angeles, CA. Does anyone know about its availability over the counter? ## From what I can gather, this medication is not available in the U.S. Propinox + Lysine Clonixinate are however reported to be the active ingredients in this medication. I would consider searching for these ingredients or asking your local pharmacy about their availability. Serial compuesto is an antispasmodic, analgesic drug, so finding similar properties among other drugs is also an option. You can view a PDF of the brochure for serial compuesto in the link below (it is in spanish though, so you may have to use a translator): I hope this helps! ## It's not available in USA, but I get it when I go to my country. It's another antispasmodic. Please ask your doctor for wh...

I was given this drug three days ago Ever since my blood sugar has been out of control Usually that only happens if i take a steroid ## Hello, DVD! How are you doing? Have things gotten any better? This is generally used to treat gastric issues, so it could be affecting the absorption of food, or other medications that take you. Learn more Dicycloverine details here. What do you take for your diabetes? Have you discussed the problem with your doctor? ## Yes things got back to normal about 7 days after starting it thanks for asking. I did speak with a doctor in the er see I'm traveling and a long way from home. He said it should not do that otherwise pretty vague about the whole situation. I find the health care in Arizona pretty bad. But thankfully back to normal!
