I know a few of you use this to control gut spasms. Does the medication work immediately? or does it take a couple of days first before you feel any benefit? (like Mebeverine (Colofac) does).

You should see its effect within an hour. I take 20mg tablet.

I take it but can't say it does anything at all in me.

immediately? no.

not immediately but like after a week or so? I know mebeverine (Colofac) requires about a week or so before the medication has any benefit.

For me it works within the hour & it was like that on the very first day I started taking it. It works faster when you have an empty stomach. Sometimes it makes my legs weak if I take it while resting, but the benefits far outweigh the pesky little side effects.

Mine works within a hour too. For me it's a funny med. if I'm sedate, it makes me sleepy. But if I'm moving around than it doesn't.

Yes, within the hour...I thought immediately meant like IMMEDIATELY.

I love it!
and ditto Sherry.

Works for me within 20 min! Always have it on hand. It's the best !!!!!

Yeah, it can work faster on an empty stomach as well.

i don't find that bentyl works for me, but hyosciamine (levsin) works in like 20 minutes.
