My doctor prescribed dicyclomine for some stomach discomfort, and I'm a bit nervous about taking medicine during pregnancy. Does anyone know if dicyclomine is generally considered safe for pregnant women?
I also had bad stomach spasms last week and was so tempted to take something, but was too scared! Did anyone else's doctor actually prescribe dicyclomine, or did they give something else?
It's classified as a category B drug, meaning there isn't enough human data to call it completely safe or unsafe. It's highly recommended to consult your gynecologist instead of self-prescribing any antispasmodic.
Look, I am too tired to even search for my TV remote, let alone research medicine safety! Please don't take random pills like dicyclomine on your own, just call your gynac and let them prescribe what's safe.
According to medical guidelines, dicyclomine should only be used if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. My gynac specifically told me to avoid taking OTC stomach spasm medicines during pregnancy because some can affect amniotic fluid or have other risks.
Please avoid taking any tablets without consulting your doctor first, we must keep the baby safe from any risks. Praying for your health, just take rest and check with your gynac once.
