this is actually a side-effect of the medication working and drowsiness will actually continue as long as you are taking the medicine it will not subside. so i would advise the patient to let the physician know if it becomes really bothersome they feel that they can't go to work. there is actually a lower shrunk of this medication that is available. so the physician or healthcare provider may want to consider decreasing the dose and basically seeing if that helps the patient better with the drowsiness side-effect. but once again if the patient comes into the pharmacy and says to me you know i feel like i am really tired of this medication and i have to take it a lot of time four-times-a-day is really complicated for a medication. i might be able to say you know let's call your doctor and let's see if we can get them down to a lower dose and if the doctor approves it then we can try that instead. but coming to the pharmacy asking us that's what we are here for. we are the medication experts.
my doctor has put me on dicyclomine 20 mg four-times-a-day for two weeks. it makes me sleepy. will i get used to this?
