Bentyl Dermatologic side effects
Dermatologic side effects commonly observed have included inhibition of exocrine sweat glands. This is usually not clinically significant except when perspiration becomes a major factor in body temperature control.
Bentyl Gastrointestinal side effects
Gastrointestinal side effects have been reported the most frequently. These have included the anticholinergic effects of dry mouth and mucous membranes. Other reported side effects have included delayed gastric emptying time, reduced gastric acid secretion, nausea, constipation, and gastroesophageal reflux.
Bentyl Cardiovascular side effects
Cardiovascular side effects have included tachycardia and palpitations from muscarinic blockade.
Bentyl General side effects
General side effects have included dicyclomine toxicity (anticholinergic side effects) which often presents with fever, tachycardia, agitation, and dry skin/mucous membranes.
Bentyl Genitourinary side effects
Genitourinary side effects have frequently included urinary retention as a result of the anticholinergic effects on the urinary sphincter and dose-related, and impotence in male patients.
Bentyl Nervous system side effects
Nervous system side effects have included lethargy and somnolence. Higher doses may be associated with mental confusion and/or excitement. The elderly appear to be more prone to the anticholinergic effects of dicyclomine on the CNS.
Bentyl Ocular side effects
Ocular side effects due to the anticholinergic activity of dicyclomine have included inhibition of the iris sphincter muscle (possibly resulting in mydriasis), follicular conjunctivitis, and inhibition of the ciliary muscle (which can produce blurred vision). All muscarinic antagonists can precipitate glaucoma.
