| OT medical staff: Severe stomach pains and medication Posted by heehaw For the past hour and a half or so I have severe pains in my upper abdomen.  on 2/15 at 1:15 amAbout a hour ago I took a metronidazole. However, I meant to take a dicyclomine. Is it okay if I go ahead and take the dicyclomine still? Reply • Back to Top |

| Also some abdominal discomfort is normal for both of these medications but if you have a high level of pain your gonna want to call the doctor that prescribed it and explain what happened. He will let you know what your next appropriate action should be. Reply • Back to Top |

| There is no interaction bw flagyl and dicyclomine however both can cause further abdominal pain. Do not drink alcohol for next 36-48 hours bc it will cause vomiting from an interaction with the metronidazole. Dicyclomine will help with cramping. Do you have IBS/IBD, constant diverticulitis flare ups? ETA I am a pharmacist not just some OT expert lol This post was edited on 2/15 at 2:50 am Reply • Back to Top |
| You're fricked. Make sure your life insurance policy is updated. Reply • Back to Top |
| This is most likely referred pain from your testicles. You will need to have them removed as soon as possible. Good luck. Reply • Back to Top |
| Next time take things slow.... Start with a Tums or Gas-X Why reach straight for antibiotics? Reply • Back to Top |
| Instead of self medicating a problem that you are clueless about why don't you get your arse in to a doctor to find out a) what it is and b) what medications you should be taking if any. Reply • Back to Top |
| You have a terrible case of could be anything. Sorry. Reply • Back to Top |
| Where is the pain in your upper abdomen? Is it more to the left, more to the right or center? Also, did the pain begin after you ate something? Especially if it was fatty food? Finally, is the pain radiating? To your back? It is not your appendix. That would be pain in the lower right part of your stomach. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
