A member asked:
Why have i lost weight on dicyclomine if it slows down gut motility and metabolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: Unless you took dicyclomine to gain weight that might make it look like it did the opposite, there might be no direct causality between the drug and the observed metabolic effect. It is much more likely that the condition for which you took the medicine caused the weight loss. If you are losing weight unexplainably you should get a thorough evaluation with your doc.
