Butylscopolamine

Butylscopolamine is an antispasmodic agent which relaxes smooth muscle of the organs of the abdominal and pelvic cavities. It is believed to act predominantly on the intramural parasympathetic ganglia of these organs.

Chlordiazepoxide has anxiolytic and central muscle relaxant properties. It has little autonomic activity. Chlordiazepoxide acts as depressant of the central nervous system producing all levels of CNS depression, from mild sedation to hypnosis, to coma depending on the dose.
