My uncle recommended using Normaxin for my abdominal cramps, but Ive been using Buscopan for a while now. Im 40 years old, and Im wondering which one would be better for me. Could you help me decide?

Accepted Answer

Both Normaxin (Dicyclomine + Simethicone) and Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide) are antispasmodics used to relieve abdominal cramps; however, Buscopan is generally considered a better choice for abdominal cramps due to its targeted action on smooth muscle relaxation, whereas Normaxin also contains Simethicone, which is primarily used for gas and bloating relief;

Hi Doctor, I've been having loose motion with pain in my lower abdomen for the past 36 hours. I've also had gastric problems for a few months now. I often travel by bike and sometimes sit for long periods working on my laptop. Could this be related? ...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may need further evaluation to rule out other underlying causes of breathlessness, such as digestive issues or respiratory conditions. If the current medication hasn't worked, I suggest revisiting your doctor for a more comprehensive examination or testing. They may consider other treatments, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or even a respiratory check.
