Would taking this med make me tired, feel unbalanced and heavy in my walking. I feel weak and don't seem to have the strength I had a month ago, and don't feel like doing anything ## How long have you been taking it? Chlordiazepoxide, with Clidinium may cause some symptoms like this, as a side effect, but they shouldn't be so severe that you can't function. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Is there a cheaper alternative to the above. It cost me over $100 for one month supply! Or is there something else I can do to control my IBS? I had severe cramping, gas and diarrhea within 10 minutes after eating. Couldn't leave the house! ## Hi Linda, I'm not aware of current price points for each medication, as they can be different at every pharmacy; but I do know there are a number of prescription drug discount cards (coupons) that can be found on online with a simple google search. Another option would be asking your doctor or pharmacy about any 'patient assistance programs' for your type of medication. Different manufacturers offer these types of programs for patient's who can't afford their medication. Perhaps one or more of these options can help take th...

A small light green capsule ## Chlordiazepoxide and Clidinium are the active ingredients in Librax, it is commonly used to treat peptic ulcers, IBS and gastritis.

CHLORD/CLIDI CAP 5-2.5MG ## My doctor prescribed librax for a stomach problem, but my insurance company substituted chlord/clidi. What is the difference?

I recently was put on chlord clidi to digestive problems relating to pancreas problem in addition to IBS. I also have a history of gastroparesis gerds and precancerous polps. Please explain how chlor clidi slows down food process in digestion which will help my pancreas ## Hi Dobby, In general, benzodiazepines, such as Chlordiazepoxide, act as depressants of the central nervous system (CNS), producing all levels of CNS depression from mild sedation to hypnosis to coma depending on dose. In laymen's terms, the sedation of the CNS allows food to digest without any disturbance from other bodily functions or feelings, per say.

Chlordiazepoxide + Clidinium Drug Index

Chlordiazepoxide/clidinium bromide (marketed as Librax) is a fixed-dose combination medication used to treat peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gastritis. It contains chlordiazepoxide and clidinium bromide. It helps relieve stomach spasms, abdominal cramps, and anxiety related to gastric disorders.[2] Librax is a fixed ratio of these two medications and, as such, is not typically prescribed with an accompanying dosage, but rather directions on how many capsules...

How are you? It is normal for medications like this to cause gas/belching, as well as flatulence. You may also experience bloating, nausea and abdominal cramping, as listed by the FDA. You could try taking it, as needed, as long as your doctor approves and see how it works for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

can i take this chlord clidi if i take Crestor and a blood pressure meds ## Hello, Casey! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between the Crestor and Chlorthalidone. However, it is always best to double check such information to be certain. The FDA classifies Chlorthalidone as a diuretic that helps remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions, such as edema, congestive heart failure and high blood pressure. What blood pressure medications do you take? I'm sorry, but I can't check those, without knowing more information. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

I have been prescribed Omeprazole 20mg once a day in ams, plus Clorid/Clidi5-2.5 mg 3x daily before meals for gastro bloating, discomfort after each meal. The combo seems to work since I began 3 days ago. Maybe some extra sleepiness. Questions: Rx info sheet mentions some problems with this combo. What do you think? ## Our resources don't list any interactions using them together. Have you tried asking your pharmacist? They may have more information, especially if it is a problem that has been newly discovered that may not be updated in our databases, yet.

Why has the cost of this 50 year old drug in its generic form increased 4x since last year? ## Does it cause a head itch? ## Price changes are really due to supply and demand, just as with any other product. Neither the FDA, nor the NIH set any particular price point, or ceiling, so the more a drug is prescribe the higher the price usually goes. How much is being charged for it, now? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, diarrhea, and stomach pain.

Yes, it's ridiculous that both medicare and united health care will not pay for this! Or the generic librax. I have both ibs and an ulcer. This works for me. I'm with aarp! Anybody else on here in the same situation? Let's contact them to get help! Isn't that what they are here for? ## I am a State employee with total coverage insurance as well as pharmacy coverage. We just had to change to a new company in January. Librax is not in their Formulary, and is not covered. 90 day supply of brand name is over $6000 and generic is over $900. Even with good wages it is not possible to continue on with the drug. I have an appointment with my doctor in several weeks to try to work on a new medication.

was taking this by a company name calledkylemore worked great company doesnt carry any more so i got it through acella pharm. all symptoms return how can i get the same exact medicine made by kylemore. ## The active ingredients are the same, but there can be fluctuations in the amount and the inactive ingredients can be different. I am afraid that it's really just going to be a matter of trial and error, you'll need to see what your pharmacy can order in from other manufacturers and try them to see how they work for you. We really have no information on what would be the closest to the product from any given manufacturer. Have you talked to your doctor about the issue?

Does this medication have any interactions with the following drugs: Lamictal, Lithium Carbonate, Glucophage, Buspirone? ## Based on my research, there are several drug interactions listed between the medications you mentioned.

The interaction below applies to the following drug combinations: lithium & buspirone buspirone & chlordiazepoxide/clidinium buspirone & Lamictal (lamotrigine) lithium & Lamictal (lamo...

Mr doctor wrote prescription for Librax and did not specify brand name only. My local pharmacy dispensed Chlordiazepoxide-Clidinium at a copay of $4.86 for 40 pills.. However, my Mail Order provider sent me Librax at a cost of $162.39 for 100 pills. When I questioned the mail order company, they advised Chlordiazepoxide-Clidinium had not been approved for automatic substitution for Librax and they could not give me the generic. They did advise that if the prescription had been for Chlordiazepoxide-Clidinium they would have dispensed that drug. Are they giving me the facts or run around? Thanks. ## Unless they are in a different country and not following the laws of the U.S. then they are incorrect. Any medication that has a generic available can be substituted with that generic, at the ...
