Summary
Paliperidone has little anticholinergic activity, so a major additive effect is not expected. Dicyclomine may still cause its own anticholinergic effects, and slowed gastric motility could alter absorption of the extended-release tablet.
What this interaction means in plain words
Dicyclomine and Paliperidone have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Dicyclomine belongs to Respiratory; Paliperidone belongs to Central Nervous System.
Why it happens
Minimal additive antimuscarinic effect; possible altered GI transit.
What to do
No routine change is needed. Monitor for constipation and for any change in psychiatric symptom control.
