Diphenoxylate Hydrochloride 2.5mg + Atropine sulphate 0.025mg Tablet

10's

Diphenoxylate Hydrochloride (2.5mg) and Atropine Sulphate (0.025mg) Tablets is a fixed-dose antidiarrheal combination on the WHO Model List framework. Diphenoxylate is a synthetic opioid receptor agonist structurally related to meperidine that slows intestinal motility, prolonging transit time and allowing increased fluid resorption. Subtherapeutic atropine sulphate is included specifically to deter deliberate abuse by causing unpleasant anticholinergic symptoms (dry mouth, tachycardia, flushing) if taken in excessive quantities. Indicated as adjunctive therapy in the management of acute or chronic diarrhea.
