Mechanism of Action
ATROPINE
Atropine binds to and inhibit muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, producing a wide range of anticholinergic effects
DIPHENOXYLATE
Diphenoxylate is an opiate receptor agonists that stimulate mu receptors in gi to decrease the peristalsis and constrict the sphincters. Diphenoxylate has a direct effect on circular smooth muscle of the bowel, that conceivably results in segmentation and prolongation of gastrointestinal transit time. The clinical antidiarrheal action of diphenoxylate may thus be a consequence of enhanced segmentation that allows increased contact of the intraluminal contents with the intestinal mucosa
