A member asked:

Can i take 200mg of bentyl (dicyclomine) a day?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Too much: The standard dose for Bentyl (dicyclomine) would be 10-20 mg 3-4 times a day, making a maximum dose of 80 mg. A dose of 200 mg would be excessive.

Can u or should u?: Can you? Yes. Should you? No! maximum dose as noted by online.Epocrates.Com & http://www.Drugs.Com/monograph/bentyl.Html is just 160mg daily. Safety for use beyond 2 weeks has not been established per latter resource. Talk to your prescribing physician if you feel you need more than prescribed.
