Not for Gallstones: Dicyclomine is used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel disease and intestinal hypermotility. It does not dissolve gallstones or make them pass. There are medications which have some ability to dissolve stones but the stones return when the medications are stopped. They are very rarely used.

Spasm: Dicyclomine is a medication that may alleviate the spasm of the gallbladder which is painful. Your gallbladder can not empty properly most likely because of stones or sludge that are blocking the duct. We have had limited success with medications that dissolve only certain types of stones.
