Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Difemerine is an antispasmodic and anticholinergic agent that inhibits M‑receptor‑mediated smooth‑muscle contraction, particularly in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. It reduces visceral pain by decreasing motility and muscle tone.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in smooth‑muscle research, parasympathetic‑inhibition studies, antispasmodic SAR analysis, and GI motility modelling.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include anticholinergic effects: dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention and tachycardia. Handle with antimuscarinic‑agent precautions.
