==History==
]

Dicycloverine was first ] in the United States ''circa'' 1945 by scientists at ].<ref>{{cite web |title=Dicyclomine |url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/3042#section=Use-and-Manufacturing |publisher=Pubchem |access-date=25 November 2018}}</ref>

It was first marketed in 1952 for gastrointestinal disorders, including colic in infants.<ref name=WHO/> The INN name "dicycloverine" was recommended in 1959.<ref>{{cite journal |title=International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Preparations List #3 |journal=WHO Chronicle |date=December 1959 |volume=13 |issue=12 |pages=463–474 |url=https://www.who.int/medicines/publications/druginformation/innlists/RL03.pdf?ua=1 |format=PDF |access-date=25 November 2018}}</ref> It was included in the ] for morning sickness called ], along with ] and ] which was launched in the US in 1956; dicycloverine was removed from the formulation in 1976 after Merrell determined that it added no value. Bendectin became the subject of many lawsuits due to allegations that it had caused birth defects similar to ], which Merrell had also marketed in the US and Canada.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sanders |first1=Joseph |name-list-style=vanc |title=The Bendectin Litigation: A Case Study in the Life Cycle of Mass Torts |journal=Hastings Law Journal |date=January 1992 |volume=43 |issue=2 |page=317 |url=https://repository.uchastings.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3055&context=hastings_law_journal |format=PDF |access-date=25 November 2018}}</ref>

In the 1980s, several governments restricted its use in infants due to reports of convulsions, difficult breathing, irritability, and restlessness in infants given the drug.<ref name="WHO">{{cite book |title=Consolidated List of Products Whose Consumption and/or Sale Have Been Banned, Withdrawn, Severely Restricted or Not Approved by Governments |edition=12 |date=2005 |publisher=World Health Organization |page=106 |url=http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/documents/s16780e/s16780e.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407083428/http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/documents/s16780e/s16780e.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 April 2014 |access-date=25 November 2018}}</ref>

In 1994, the US ] ordered ], which had acquired Rugby Darby—the only generic manufacturer of dicycloverine in the US—to promise to grant licenses to its intellectual property on the drug to any company that wanted it, based on ] concerns. The US market for the medication at that time was around $8 million; Dow had 60% of it and Rugby had 40%. The next year, ], which by that time had acquired the business, granted a license to ]. By 2000 several other generic competitors had started selling the medication. The case was part of the reshaping of the US pharmaceutical market that occurred in the 1990s, to favor generic entry.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Chien |first1=Colleen |name-list-style=vanc |title=Cheap Drugs at What Price to Innovation: Does the Compulsory Licensing of Pharmaceuticals Hurt Innovation? |journal=Berkeley Technology Law Journal |date=2003 |volume=18 |issue=3 |pages=853–907 |jstor=24116860}}</ref>
