A member asked:

Does dicyclomine cause weight gain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Bentyl (dicyclomine) decreases intestinal motility and is usually used to treat irritable -bowel syndrome or other motility disorders. Not associated with weight gain per se although if less abdominal pain you might eat more and therefore gain weight.
