Product Introduction
Equirex Tablet is commonly prescribed for managing irritable bowel syndrome, a condition that causes symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, cramps, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. It helps by relaxing the muscles of the stomach and intestines, reducing painful spasms, and easing the passage of gas, which relieves bloating and stomach discomfort.

This medicine should be taken on an empty stomach, exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and length of treatment depend on your medical condition and how well you respond to the medication. Stopping the treatment suddenly may cause your symptoms to return or worsen, so it is important to complete the full course as advised. Inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking to prevent potential drug interactions.

Some common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, nausea, memory problems, blurred vision, difficulty urinating, sleepiness, and lack of coordination. These are usually temporary and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if any side effects persist or cause concern, seek medical advice immediately. Because this medicine can make you feel drowsy or dizzy, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Alcohol consumption should also be avoided, as it can increase sleepiness.

Along with medication, lifestyle changes can help improve results. Eating a diet high in fiber, avoiding foods that trigger your symptoms, drinking plenty of water, and regular exercise are recommended. Before starting the medicine, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver issues, or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

How It Works
Equirex Tablet combines two active ingredients: Chlordiazepoxide and Clidinium. Chlordiazepoxide belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. It works by increasing the activity of a brain chemical called GABA, which helps calm excessive nerve activity. Clidinium acts by relaxing the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines, reducing cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort associated with irritable bowel syndrome.
