Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diphenoxylate is an opioid agonist that works by slowing down gastrointestinal motility and reducing peristalsis, leading to decreased frequency and intensity of bowel movements. Atropine is added to the formulation to prevent abuse of the opioid component at high doses. It has anticholinergic properties that can counteract symptoms of diarrhea, such as abdominal cramping and hypermotility.
