Overview
Dicyclomine (generic Bentyl) is an anticholinergic antispasmodic that relaxes GI smooth muscle to relieve abdominal cramping — one of the most debilitating symptoms of traveler's diarrhea. It complements antibiotic therapy by targeting pain and spasms directly.
Typically taken as needed, 3–4 times daily for acute episodes. Especially valuable for travel to South and Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America, where enteric illness rates are highest.
