What are Bentyl (dicyclomine) ingredients?
Bentyl’s active ingredient is dicyclomine (often written as dicyclomine hydrochloride). The rest of the formulation consists of inactive (inactive) ingredients such as common tablet excipients (for example, fillers/binders, starches, and lubricants), which can vary by strength and manufacturer.
Why “ingredients” searches differ—tablet vs. liquid, and strength differences
People often search “Bentyl ingredients” because the label content can change depending on:
- Dosage form (tablets vs. other formulations)
- Strength (e.g., 10 mg vs. other strengths)
- Manufacturer/NDC (inactive ingredients can differ even when the active ingredient stays the same)
What you should check on your specific bottle
To get the exact ingredient list for your product, check your box/bottle for:
- Active ingredient: dicyclomine (dicyclomine hydrochloride)
- Inactive ingredients: listed in the “Inactive ingredients” section of the package insert or label
If you tell me the strength (mg) and whether your Bentyl is a tablet or something else (and ideally the NDC from your bottle), I can help you pinpoint the exact ingredient list for that version.

If you’re asking because of allergies or sensitivities (for example, to dyes, lactose, gluten, or certain excipients), the inactive ingredients list on the specific product label is the only reliable way to confirm what you’re reacting to.
