About Clidinium BromideIt is a quaternary ammonium compound with anticholingeric properties, Antispasmodics (Systemic).Mechanism of Action of Clidinium BromideClidinium bromide is an anticholinergic drug. It exerts its action by inhibiting muscarinic cholinergic receptors on smooth muscles, cardiac muscles and prevents the effect of Acetylcholine. Inhibition of Acetylcholine produces relaxation of smooth muscles and prevents the muscle spasm in irritable bowel syndrome.Pharmacokinets of Clidinium BromideAbsorption: Clidinium bromide is poorly absorbed about (10 - 25 %) after oral administration.
Distribution:It does not penetrate CNS and eye.
Metabolism: It is extensively metabolised in the small intestine (by hydrolysis) and in the liver to inactive metabolites.
Excretion: Drug and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine.

About ChlordiazepoxideBenzodiazepine derivative, Sedative /hypnotic, Antianxiety and skeletal muscle relaxant.Mechanism of Action of ChlordiazepoxideChlordiazepoxide mainly acts on Limbic system and ascending reticular formation in the CNS. It binds to the BZD receptor. The binding will facilitates GABA mediated chloride channel opening and produce hyperpolarisation. This will increase the concentration of inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA and chloride ions in the CNS and decreases firing rate of neurons. This in turn alters normal excitatory functions of the body.Pharmacokinets of ChlordiazepoxideAbsorption: It is absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: It is distributed widely in the body. Metabolism: It is metabolised to active metabolite in the liver. Excretion: Most metabolites are excreted through urineOnset of Action for Chlordiazepoxide1 - 2 hourDuration of Action for Chlordiazepoxide12 - 24 hourHalf Life of Chlordiazepoxide5 - 30 hourSide Effects of Chlordiazepoxide1.Ataxia

About DicyclomineAnticholinergic ,Antimuscarinic, Antispasmodic and in urinary incontinence.Mechanism of Action of DicyclomineDicyclomine is an anticholinergic drug. It exerts its action by inhibiting muscarinic (((cholinergic))) receptors on smooth muscles and prevents the effect of Acetylcholine. Inhibition of Acetylcholine produces relaxation of smooth muscles of gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary tract and reduces the painful spasm and cramp. It inhibits gastrointestinal propulsive motility and reduces gastric acid secretion. It also has a direct relaxant effect on smooth muscle. It readily crosses the blood brain barrier and produces CNS effects.Pharmacokinets of DicyclomineAbsorption: About 70 % of the drug is absorbed after oral administration.
Distribution: It is extensively distributed in tissue mainly in protein bound (((99%))) form. It readily crosses blood brain barrier.
Metabolism: Dicyclomine undergoes hepatic metabolism
