Tiemonium iodide
Tiemonium Iodide[edit | edit source]
Tiemonium iodide is a quaternary ammonium antimuscarinic agent used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. It is primarily employed to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Tiemonium iodide acts as a muscarinic receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors. This action reduces the spasms of smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, providing relief from pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and colic.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
The drug works by inhibiting the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for stimulating the digestive tract.
