Propantheline

Propantheline is used in the treatment of peptic ulcers and cramps or spasms in the stomach, intestines or bladder. Propantheline decreases the release of acid in the stomach to treat ulcers and other conditions.

Propantheline belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. These slow down the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, which decreases the amount of acid made by the stomach. The decreased amount of acid helps alleviate peptic ulcers and prevents them from occurring.

Some benefits of Propantheline include:

• Treats stomach and intestinal ulcers
• Treats other conditions that are a result of too much acid in the stomach.

Propantheline tablets should be taken orally 30 minutes before each meal and at bedtime. The dosage will depend on your doctor’s prescription. Propantheline should be taken regularly to reap the maximum benefits. Take it at the same time each day to avoid any missed doses.

Propantheline is typically taken 4 times a day, 30 minutes before every meal and then at bedtime. However, you should follow your doctor’s prescription carefully and do not take more or less than recommended.

Do not double dose on Propantheline. You may skip a dose if you missed it and it is almost time for the next dose.
