Mechanism of Action

CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE
Chlordiazepoxide binds to stereospecific benzodiazepine (bzd) binding sites on gaba (a) receptor complexes at several sites within the central nervous system, including the limbic system and reticular formation. This results in an increased binding of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gaba to the gaba(a) receptor. Bzds, therefore, enhance gaba-mediated chloride influx through gaba receptor channels, causing membrane hyperpolarization. The net neuro-inhibitory effects result in the observed sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and muscle relaxant properties
CLIDINIUM
Inhibits muscarinic actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic parasympathetic neuroeffector sites primarily by inhibiting the m1 muscarinic receptors
