Normaxin Tablet
Normaxin Tablet Description
Normaxin Tablet has a combination of three different drugs. The three components of Normaxin are Chlordiazepoxide, Clidinium and Dicyclomine. These help in providing relief from abdominal pain, spasm
s, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation in a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Irritable bowel syndrome is an inflammatory condition of the gut causing cramps in the abdomen, diarrhoea or constipation, bloating and gas. Normaxin causes relaxation of the muscles of the gut and provides relief from pains and cramps. It also reduces gastric secretions and helps in reducing pain associated with peptic ulcers. Apart from irritable bowel syndrome, Normaxin tablets are used to treat several other conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, motion sickness, and peptic ulcer disease. The treatment for each of these conditions should be taken as advised by the doctor.
