Can they make pain worse? I keep taking dicycloverine and when it kicks in I'm not sure if pain is better or actually worse

Hi Spaceboy, dicycloverine works on smooth muscle according to BNF. You don't say how long you have been using this medicine. If it is not working for you, it is probably something you should ask your GP about. An alternative might work better for you.

Quite a while, but it only works for four hours that's the problem and dosage difficult to know if one is enough
