What is Diphenoxylate-Atropine?

Diphenoxylate-Atropine is a combination prescription drug used along with appropriate fluid and electrolyte therapy to treat diarrhea, a condition in which the intestines pass waste too quickly. Severe diarrhea can cause life-threatening dehydration.

While Diphenoxylate-Atropine has two active ingredients, only diphenoxylate treats diarrhea. Diphenoxylate is an opioid. It binds to receptors on nerves in the intestines and slows them down. As a result, diphenoxylate reduces the frequency and intensity of intestinal muscle contractions, which means that material moves through the intestines more slowly.

Diphenoxylate is an opioid that, like all opioids, can cause a “high” when taken in large enough quantities. Atropine helps prevent abuse of the diphenoxylate. It is present in Diphenoxylate-Atropine in subclinical doses that will have no effect. In larger doses, atropine produces unpleasant and even harsh side effects.

Diphenoxylate-Atropine tablets contain 2.5 mg of diphenoxylate and 0.025 mg of atropine. Two tablets are taken four times per day. Improvement in diarrhea symptoms should occur in 48 hours. Diphenoxylate-Atropine is discontinued if no improvement is made in 10 days.

What are the side effects of Diphenoxylate-Atropine?

Diphenoxylate is a narcotic, so most people taking Diphenoxylate-Atropine will experience drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, sleepiness, and feeling tired. Other mental and mood changes commonly experienced include euphoria, depression, nervousness, confusion, or depression.

Common physical side effects include but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, loss of appetite, headache, blurred vision, skin rash, and itching.

An diphenoxylate overdose is the same as any other opioid overdose. Overdose can result in slowed reflexes, slowed breathing, slowed heart rate, coma, and even death.

The atropine in Diphenoxylate-Atropine is intended to produce unpleasant but harmless side effects, but in the dose prescribed, the effects from the atropine will be minimal. If more than the prescribed dose prescribed is taken, the side effects of the atropine will include dry skin, dry mouth, lack of sweating, headache, rapid heartbeat, loss of balance, and blurred vision.

Some patients will show allergic reactions, typically rash, hives, swelling, or trouble breathing. Allergic reactions could be severe, including anaphylaxis, a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Get emergency medical help if you suspect you are having an allergic reaction to Diphenoxylate-Atropine.
