Used for symptomatic treatment of peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, and other functional gastrointestinal disorders characterized by spasms, cramping, and excessive secretions.

Acts as a muscarinic receptor antagonist, blocking acetylcholine from binding to receptors in smooth muscle cells of the GI tract. This reduces smooth muscle contractions (antispasmodic effect) and decreases gastric acid and other secretions.

Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and urinary retention. Should be used with caution in patients with glaucoma, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or gastrointestinal obstruction. Often combined with benzodiazepines for enhanced therapeutic effect.
