What is Motofen?

Motofen (difenoxin and atropine) is a combination drug that helps treat severe diarrhea. Diarrhea has many causes but is characterized by materials passing through the intestines too fast to absorb water. The active ingredient in Motofen, difenoxin, is a narcotic that blocks nerve signals in the intestines and so slows intestinal muscle contractions. Material moves through the intestines more slowly.

Difenoxin is an opioid that produces a “high” when taken in larger quantities. For that reason, Motofen includes an anti-abuse agent, atropine, which produces unpleasant side effects when too much Motofen is taken.

Motofen tablets contain 1 mg of difenoxin and 0.025 mg of atropine. Motofen treatment usually starts with two tablets. One additional tablet is taken after each loose stool, but no more than 8 tablets are taken in a day. Motofen is always discontinued after 48 hours no matter what the results.

What are the side effects of Motofen?

Most people will experience some side effects when taking Motofen including drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and tiredness because the active ingredient, difenoxin, is a narcotic.
