Libritabs

Libritabs is a brand name for the drug Diphenoxylate, a medication primarily used to treat diarrhea. It is often combined with Atropine in a product known as Lomotil to discourage misuse.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Diphenoxylate is an opioid medication that slows down the movement of the intestines, reducing the number of bowel movements and making the stools less watery. Atropine, on the other hand, is added to discourage misuse of the medication. When taken at higher than recommended doses, Atropine can cause unpleasant side effects.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Libritabs is used to treat diarrhea by slowing down the movement of the intestines. This allows the body to absorb more fluid, making the stools less watery. It is not a cure for diarrhea, but rather a treatment for the symptoms.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, Libritabs can cause side effects. These may include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, tiredness, blurred vision, dry mouth, and loss of appetite. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention.

Precautions[edit | edit source]

Before taking Libritabs, it is important to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to Diphenoxylate or Atropine; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

Drug interactions can change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.
