Diphenoxylate-atropine Coupons & Diphenoxylate-atropine Savings Card

This medication is prescribed to manage diarrhea by reducing the number and frequency of bowel movements. It operates by slowing down intestinal movement. Diphenoxylate is akin to opioid pain medications but primarily targets gut motility. Atropine, an anticholinergic, helps dry up body fluids and further slows the gut's movement. It is important to note that this medication should not be used for diarrhea resulting from certain infections, like C. difficile-associated diarrhea following antibiotic use. Consult your doctor for more information. Additionally, this medication is not advised for children under 6 years due to a higher risk of severe side effects, such as respiratory issues.
