EBIRAX TABLETLET
About EBIRAX TABLETLET
EBIRAX TABLETLET belongs to a class of medications called ‘gastrointestinal agents’ used in the treatment of peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and enterocolitis (swelling in the intestine). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the stomach and intestine lining due to erosion of the stomach's protective lining. An irritable bowel syndrome is a group of intestinal symptoms that occur together. Enterocolitis is an inflammation of the digestive tract caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungus, or other causes.
EBIRAX TABLETLET is a combination of two medicines: Chlordiazepoxide and Clidinium. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine that decreases abnormal activity in the brain. It interferes with the chemical messenger's activity that passes messages to the brain cells, providing a calming effect and relaxing muscles. Clidinium is an anticholinergic that acts by decreasing stomach acid production. It helps to provide relief from stomach spasms and cramps.
EBIRAX TABLETLET is available in the form of capsules. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. EBIRAX TABLETLET may cause side-effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, nausea, bloating, urination problems, drowsiness, dizziness, rash, swelling, irregular menstrual periods, and increased or decreased libido (sexual desire). Inform your doctor if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.
Do not take EBIRAX TABLETLET if you are allergic to Chlordiazepoxide, Clidinium, or any other ingredients present in it. Before taking EBIRAX TABLETLET, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye), enlarged prostate, difficulty urinating, heart problems, liver, or kidney diseases, depression, alcohol abuse, and high blood pressure. EBIRAX TABLETLET is not recommended for use in children. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
