Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The three ingredients in Chlordiazepoxide+Clidinium+Dicycloverine / Dicyclomine work together to provide relief from painful spasms of the abdomen and the anxiety associated with these conditions. Chlordiazepoxide+Clidinium+Dicycloverine / Dicyclomine is composed of Chlordiazepoxide, Clidinium, and Dicyclomine. Chlordiazepoxide is a sedative-hypnotic. It acts on excessive activity in the brain and produces a calming effect by binding certain chemicals in the brain. It alleviates anxiety-related recurrent abdominal spasms in irritable bowel syndrome. It is also used to reduce the effects of alcohol withdrawal. Clidinium is an anticholinergic drug and has antispasmodic action. It acts by blocking the secretions of certain chemicals in the smooth muscles, thereby providing relief from abdominal spasms and cramps. It is also used to relieve pain in peptic ulcer disease. Dicyclomine acts by relaxing the muscles in the intestines and slows down the movements of the intestinal tract, thereby bringing relief from muscle pain in the abdomen.
