Diphenoxylate Hydrochloride
The hydrochloride salt form of diphenoxylate, used in combination with atropine in oral liquid and tablet formulations for diarrhea treatment. It slows gut motility via opioid receptors in the intestinal wall. The small amount of atropine present discourages misuse.

Mécanisme d'action
Binds to mu (μ), kappa (κ), and/or delta (δ) opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system, mimicking endogenous endorphins. Activation of these G-protein-coupled receptors inhibits pain signal transmission and modulates the emotional response to pain.
