Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Tab. Librex is a combination of two drugs. The drugs Clidinium and Chlordiazepoxide are combined in this medication. It is used in conjunction with other drugs to treat stomach and intestinal problems (such as ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, bowel infections). Clidinium aids in the alleviation of the stomach and intestinal cramps. It relaxes the stomach and intestines muscles and delays the normal movements of the gut. Clidinium is a member of the anticholinergic/antispasmodic drug class. Chlordiazepoxide is an anti-anxiety medication. It produces a soothing effect by acting on the brain and nerves. It belongs to the Benzodiazepine family of medicines.
