Dicyclomine may interact with other medicines. When this happens, the effects of one or both of the drugs may change or the risk of side effects may be greater. Among the drugs that may interact with Dicyclomine are:

  • antacids such as Maalox
  • antihistamines such as clemastine fumarate (Tavist)
  • bronchodilators (airway opening drugs) such as albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin)
  • corticosteroids such as prednisone (Deltasone)
  • monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) such as phenelzine (Nardil) and tranylcypromine (Parnate)
  • tranquilizers such as diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax)

The list above does not include every drug that may interact with dicyclomine. Be sure to check with a physician or pharmacist before combining dicyclomine with any other prescription or nonprescription (over-thecounter) medicine.
