What Is 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...

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.

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. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Using lithium together with (Glucophage) metformin can decrease the effects of metformin, which can lead to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Talk with your doctor before using lithium while you are using metformin. You may need a dose adjustment and you may need to check your blood sugar more often." 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 ...

I have always filled this prescription and gotten small green capsules. Today I received yellow capsules with RE369 on the capsule. Is that the same type of medication? The green capsule was manufactured by EXCELLUM. The yellow says RIVRS EDG. ## Yes, the capsules marked RE 369 do contain the same medication, to be specific, since you didn't mention a dosage, they contain 5mgs of Chlordiazepoxide and 2.5mgs of Clidinium. This medication is commonly used to treat ulcers, IBS and Gastritis. It is common for a pharmacy to switch manufacturers, when they restock, if a different company is offering it cheaper, since this helps them keep prices down for their customers. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is RE 369 covered by prescription plans????? ## I recommend avoiding the yell...

chlordiazepoxide clidinium caps can these affect your blood pressure ## Some adverse reactions reported during therapy with chlor-diazepoxide hydrochloride include isolated instances of skin eruptions, edema, minor menstrual irregularities, nausea and constipation, extrapyramidal symptoms, as well as increased and decreased libido.

I am trying to get a prescription program. I am on medicare. None of the prescrption programs cover the drug listed above. It is either not covered or is a huge amount. Hoping my gastro doctor can help. Any ,suggestions? ## There usually aren't programs for generics, because they are generally cheaper since they are generic medications. There are, however, two programs that provide assistance for the name brand, but I am not certain of all of the exact terms.

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.
