Spaslin 10mg/1ml Dicyclomine Antispasmodic Injection - 1 Ampoule
Severe gastrointestinal distress, extreme Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) flare-ups, or acute biliary colic induce violent, crippling spasms of the smooth muscles in the gut and urinary tract. When oral medications cannot be absorbed due to severe pain or vomiting, Spaslin Injection provides an immediate parenteral rescue. Formulated with Dicyclomine Hydrochloride, it acts directly as an anticholinergic to block muscular acetylcholine receptors, rapidly relaxing smooth muscles and halting agonizing abdominal cramps.
How to Use / Operate
For administration by trained healthcare providers only. Strictly administered via deep Intramuscular (IM) injection. Never inject intravenously (IV), as this can cause local thrombosis or severe phlebitis. Switch the patient to oral dicyclomine therapy as soon as they can swallow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Spaslin Injection used for?
It is an emergency hospital injection used to treat severe, acute abdominal cramping, intestinal spasms, and severe IBS flare-ups.
What are the common side effects after injection?
Because it is a strong anticholinergic, patients frequently experience a very dry mouth, blurred vision, dizziness, and decreased sweating shortly after the injection.
Important Clinical Considerations
Strictly contraindicated in infants under 6 months of age due to reports of fatal respiratory distress and seizures. Use with extreme caution in hot climates; Dicyclomine stops the body from sweating, leading to a high risk of dangerous heat stroke. Monitor for urinary retention.
