Key takeaways

Anticholinergic / benzodiazepine combinations are used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), peptic ulcers, and acute enterocolitis. These medications work by combining the calming effects of benzodiazepines with the muscle-relaxing properties of anticholinergics. This helps to reduce stomach cramps and other symptoms associated with the digestive tract. These combinations are typically available in oral form. An example is chlordiazepoxide/clidinium (Librax). You can take these medications as prescribed to help manage your symptoms effectively.
