Still works: it works as an anti-spasmodic for sure; perhaps your pain is not from an ulcer. what causes the pain? how often do you get it? You may benefit from an evaluation by a physician.

Doesn’t directly: Bentyl doesn’t *directly* treat an ulcer (it does not, for example, heal the ulcer or reduce stomach acid that may be irritating it). However, it may treat symptoms that coexist with an ulcer: Bentyl works by decreasing the muscle tension of the large intestines, stopping the spasms and relieving stomach bloating and pain.
