General Comment
2011-05-09 A synthetic derivative of meperidine with little or no analgesic activity, diphenoxylate reduces intestinal motility and is used as the hydrochloride in the symptomatic treatment of acute and chronic diarrhoea; its active metabolite is the corresponding carboxylic acid, difenoxin. In an attempt to discourage abuse (at high doses, diphenoxylate acts like morphine), preparations usually contain subclinical amounts of atropine sulfate.
