Dicyclomine is used to treat a certain type of intestinal problem called irritable bowel syndrome. It helps to reduce the symptoms of stomach and intestinal cramping. This medication works by slowing the natural movements of the gut and by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and intestines.
Ruminantia is a taxon within the order Artiodactyla that includes many of the well-known large grazing or browsing mammals: among them cattle, goats, sheep, deer, and antelope.
Ruminants are animals such as cattle, sheep, goats and deer. (In comparison, animals such as pigs, dogs and horses have only a single stomach compartment and are called nonruminants, or monogastric animals.) The rumen allows grazing animals to digest cellulose, a very common carbohydrate in plants.
