Neoquess

Neoquess is used to control symptoms associated with disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It works by decreasing the motion of the stomach and intestines and the secretion of stomach fluids, including acid. Neoquess is also used in the treatment of bladder spasms, peptic ulcer disease, diverticulitis, colic, irritable bowel syndrome, cystitis, and pancreatitis. Neoquess may also be used to treat certain heart conditions, to control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and rhinitis (runny nose), and to reduce excess saliva production. Neoquess is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Neoquess comes as a tablet, an extended-release (long-acting) capsule, a liquid to take by mouth, and in an injectable form. The tablets and liquid are usually taken three or four times a day. The extended-release capsules are usually taken twice a day. Do not crush, chew, or divide the extended-release capsules. Neoquess injections are given by qualified health care professionals. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Neoquess exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Neoquess controls symptoms associated with disorders of the GI tract, but it does not cure the disorders. Continue to take Neoquess even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Neoquess without talking to your doctor.
