Dicyclomine dosing isn’t a single universal mg/kg dose. Dosing is different for adults vs children and depends on the exact product/formulation. If you’re asking about a weight-based dose for a child, the dose is typically given per kg per dose and then given every 6 hours or so. Rough pediatric guidance (weight-based, common practice): - For many children older than about 2 years: roughly 0.1–0.2 mg/kg per dose every 6 hours, not to exceed about 10 mg per dose or 40 mg/day. - For adults: usually 20 mg taken four times daily (80 mg/day), sometimes up to 40 mg four times daily in more severe cases (though many prescribers cap around 160 mg/day). Important: - Exact dosing depends on age, weight, the specific product (tablet vs liquid), and the condition being treated. - Dicyclomine can cause drowsiness, dry mouth, etc., and is contraindicated in certain conditions (e.g., glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, GI obstruction). If you share the patient’s age and weight (and the product/formulation you have), I can give a more precise estimate. But for anything involving a child, please verify with a clinician or pharmacist before giving meds.
