If you think that your work life exists only between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m, and that your home and social life exists only between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m., you need to make a change. I recommend that you resolve, right here and now, to make your life better, more rewarding and more balanced.
Lomotil is a mixture of two drugs: atropine and diphenoxylate. Together, these two drugs are used to create an antidiarrheal medication. Lomotil prevents spasms in the muscles of the gut and the bladder by causing them to relax. This drug also treats diarrhea by slowing the function of the bowel.
In order to prevent abuse of diphenoxylate for its mood-elevating effects, atropine is combined with diphenoxylate in small quantities. As a result, if Lomotil is taken in greater than recommended doses unpleasant side effects from too much atropine will occur. Lomotil was approved by the FDA in 1960.
