A member asked:
It says to take bentyl (dicyclomine) 30-60 minutes before meals. does that mean it will not work if you take it anytime during the day & not just before meals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will still work: Since Bentyl (dicyclomine) is an antispasmodic, it is used to "relax" the bowels. In IBS, many events are triggered by food so Bentyl (dicyclomine) is generally taken a little before every meal.
