Nufenoxole

Nufenoxole is a drug used in the treatment of diarrhea. It is a muscarinic antagonist, which means it works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) on the body's muscles and glands.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Nufenoxole is a muscarinic antagonist, which means it works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) on the body's muscles and glands. This helps to slow down the movement of the intestines, reducing the frequency of bowel movements and making the stools less watery.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Nufenoxole is used to treat diarrhea. It can be used for both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) diarrhea. It is also sometimes used to treat other conditions that cause excessive bowel movements, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all drugs, Nufenoxole can cause side effects. These may include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and difficulty urinating. In rare cases, it can cause serious side effects such as fast or irregular heartbeat, severe stomach pain, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these side effects, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

Nufenoxole can interact with other drugs, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of side effects. These include other drugs that have anticholinergic effects, such as certain antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, and some drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease.
