Librax

Chlordiazepoxide and clidinium are a combination of medications used for the treatment of stomach and intestinal problems. Chlordiazepoxide belongs to the class of medications called benzodiazepines. Clidinium belongs to the class of medications called anticholinergics.

Librax helps by reducing the amount of acid formed in your stomach as well as by relieving the pain of stomach spasms and abdominal cramps. Often, relief from symptoms occurs with the first couple of doses.

DRUG INTERACTIONS:

Librax should not be used in the presence of glaucoma or urinary retention (difficulty urinating) as seen in benign prostatic hypertrophy. It may add to the depression caused by alcohol or other nervous system depressants. Since Librax can reduce mental alertness, caution is advised when mental alertness is required.

LIBRAX AND PREGNANCY:

Librax is not recommended for use in pregnant women as there may be an increased risk of congenital malformations of the fetus in the first trimester.

    On behalf of learning, and use as teaching tools for those of us who need to know about our disease, I have tried to supply you with as much information as I could find on Crohn's Disease, it's side effects and extraintestinal manifestations, and all of the drugs, treatments and disorders associated with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. I have tried to blend all facts supported by research and also from personal experiences of other IBD sufferers into one readable website, and since our doctors rarely tell us anything of value about this disease, and not one I have ever asked me or advised me to become more educated about the whole picture of this disease, I have done so myself and in doing so any and all information presented here is not entirely from one source. It comes from many many pieces of information lodged in my brain from the hundreds of articles read and thousands of hours of research I have done. Most information contained within these pages is found in the public domain. At times you may find information used from another site, and as with all copyrighted materials you may find on these pages, I claim fair use under sections 107 through 118 of the Copyright Act (title 17, U.S. Code).
