FAQs
What is Normaxin RT Capsule?
Normaxin RT Capsule is a combination of four medicines: Chlordiazepoxide, Clidinium, Dicyclomine and Rabeprazole which treat irritable bowel syndrome. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Clidinium and Dicyclomine are antispasmodic medicines which relax the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). They stop sudden muscle contractions (spasms) which in turn relieves cramps, pain, bloating and discomfort. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It relieves acid-related indigestion and heartburn by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach.
Can the use of Normaxin RT Capsule cause dryness in mouth?
Yes, the use of Normaxin RT Capsule can cause dry mouth. If you experience dry mouth, drink plenty of water. Take regular sips during the day and keep some water by your bed at night. You may use lip balm if your lips are also dry.
