Diphenoxylate
An opioid-related antidiarrheal agent used to reduce intestinal motility and treat acute and chronic diarrhea. It is combined with a small amount of atropine in commercial preparations (e.g., Lomotil) to discourage abuse, as the atropine causes unpleasant effects if large doses are taken. At recommended doses, very little is absorbed systemically.

Механизм действия
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.
