Escol Suspension

Prescription Required

Your child’s medicine at a glance

Escol Suspension is commonly given to treat stomach pain, bloating, and abdominal cramps, and pain associated with excessive acidity, gas, infections, and gastrointestinal tract diseases. It also controls symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. It relaxes the muscles of the gut and absorbs the extra gas.

Escol Suspension is a combination of anticholinergic-antispasmodic and anti-foaming agent.

Benefits of Escol Suspension for your child

In Treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic (long-term) inflammatory disease of the large intestine (colon) that usually needs long-term management. This can lead to bleeding, frequent diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, cramps, and stomach pain. Escol Suspension relaxes the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine) and relieves these symptoms effectively. Usually, it is used as an add-on medicine along with other medicines which are given for the management of your child’s condition. Continue giving it to your child for as long as the doctor may advise you to.

In Treatment of Abdominal pain

Escol Suspension effectively relieves sudden muscle spasms or contractions in the stomach and intestine (gut), thereby relaxing the muscles and improving movement of food. It also blocks chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for pain sensation. This helps to treat abdominal pain (or stomach pain) as well as cramps, bloating and discomfort. It also helps you to pass gas easily and relieves flatulence. Take Escol Suspension as prescribed to get maximum benefit. Eventually, it will enhance your daily activities and you will have an improved quality of life.

Side effects of Escol Suspension in children

Escol Suspension does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-

How can I give Escol Suspension to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Escol Suspension is to be taken with food.

How Escol Suspension works

Escol Suspension is a mixture of two active medicines Dicyclomine, an antispasmodic agent, and Simethicone, an antifoaming medicine. Dicyclomine works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving abdominal cramps and pain. Whereas, Simethicone disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

Quick tips

  • Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting pain in your stomach.
  • Give your child a diet that is rich in fiber and low in fermentable sugars.
  • Avoid giving gas-producing foods to your child such as beans, onions, carrots, raisins, and bananas.
  • Encourage your child to exercise daily as it has potential benefits in constipation and in improving overall wellbeing.
  • In children less than 2 months of age, do not give Escol Suspension without ruling out the reasons that might be making your child cry. Give Escol Suspension only if your child shows actual signs of abdominal discomfort or pain after consulting your child’s doctor.
  • Children may experience abdominal pain due to migraines. The other associated symptoms can be a headache, nausea, anorexia vomiting, and pallor. Since Escol Suspension is strictly for abdominal pain, rule out such types of pain before giving this medicine.
