How It Works (Mechanism of Action)

Dicyclomine acts as an anticholinergic/antispasmodic, directly relaxing smooth muscles and blocking the action of acetylcholine (ACh) at various sites in smooth muscle, secretory glands, and the central nervous system (CNS). It has no effect on acid secretion. Paracetamol works as an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer), though its precise mechanism for pain relief in this combination is related to its central action.
