Serecon Tablet
Serecon Tablet Description
Serecon Tablet aids in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, acute enterocolitis, and peptic ulcers. Irritable bowel syndrome affects the large intestine and results in bleeding, frequent diarrh
oea, bloating, cramps, and stomach pain. Stomach ulcers are caused due to erosion of the stomach’s protective lining. Acute enterocolitis is the inflammation of the colon due to microorganisms. Serecon tablets prevent sudden muscle spasms and relieve stomach cramps and pain, along with making it easy for gas to pass through your stomach. Serecon tablets contain two active ingredients, chlordiazepoxide and clidinium. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine(tranquilliser). It relaxes the brain. Clidinium relaxes muscles in the stomach and intestines. Side effects of Serecon tablets include nausea, constipation, memory loss, blurred vision, dry mouth, difficulty in urinating, and coordination problems. These side effects can be temporary and should subside within a few days. You should contact your doctor immediately if you have any concerns regarding any of these side effects.
