Good morning.
Dicyclomine is not an antibiotic.It is an anticholinergic drug which blocks the effect of acetylcholine (muscarinic receptors) and gives relaxing effect on intestine muscle.
It is used to treat IBS along with stomach and intestinal cramping. Also used in dysmenorrhoea.
I think you get good information.
