How Gutrex Products work
Chlordiazepoxide + Clidinium is a combination of two medicines: Chlordiazepoxide + Clidinium1 and Chlordiazepoxide + Clidinium2. Chlordiazepoxide + Clidinium1 is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of GABA, a chemical messenger which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. Chlordiazepoxide + Clidinium2 works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms) which in turn relieves cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort.
