Tridihexethyl is a muscarinic antagonist that is used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. It is a type of anticholinergic drug that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that transmits signals in the nervous system.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Tridihexethyl works by blocking the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors in the nervous system. This results in a decrease in the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for controlling the body's rest and digest functions. By reducing the activity of this system, tridihexethyl can help to reduce the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Tridihexethyl is used in the treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulcer disease. It can also be used to treat other conditions that are caused by an overactive parasympathetic nervous system, such as overactive bladder and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, tridihexethyl can cause side effects. These can include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and dizziness. In rare cases, it can also cause more serious side effects, such as confusion, hallucinations, and tachycardia.

Contraindications[edit | edit source]

Tridihexethyl should not be used in patients with certain medical conditions, including glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, and prostatic hypertrophy. It should also not be used in patients who are allergic to tridihexethyl or any of its ingredients.
