Clindex
Clindex is a combination prescription medication containing chlordiazepoxide (a benzodiazepine) and clidinium bromide (an anticholinergic). It works by decreasing stomach acid, slowing the movement of the intestines, and acting on the central nervous system to produce a calming effect, thereby relieving gut spasms and related anxiety.
Dosage by Body Weight
The usual adult dosage is 1 or 2 capsules, 3 or 4 times daily, taken before meals and at bedtime. Dosage should be individualized based on patient response. This medication is not recommended for pediatric use.
