Question

Does the drug "Bentyl" (Dicyclomine) help with nausea?

Answer 1

"Gentle Bentyl" is generally prescribed for irritable bowl syndrome which results in pain in the abdomen and relief from an irritated colon and its side-effects, such as diarrhea.

It is not an anti-emetic, or a condition such as nausea.  However, one of its side effects is the reduction of nausea resulting from Crohns disease.  So it may help, possibly not.

Nausea can be helped by avoiding food for awhile, drinking non-acidic, or caffeinated beverages.  Pepto-Bismol, is one of the old standard treatments for an upset stomach.

If it continues for several hours, you need to be checked out because dehydration is a serious problem caused by this constant loss of fluids from your body.
