Otilonium bromide

Otilonium bromide is a medication used to treat functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is a synthetic anticholinergic drug, which means it works by blocking the action of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This helps to reduce muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, which can help to relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating and constipation. Otilonium bromide is available in tablet form and should be taken after meals. It is usually taken three times a day. Side effects may include dry mouth, blurred vision, and dizziness.
