Diphenoxylate, also known as diphenoxy-malonic acid, is a synthetic opioid analgesic and anti-diarrheal medication. It is primarily used to treat diarrhea by slowing down the movement of the gut, thereby reducing the frequency of bowel movements. Diphenoxylate is often combined with atropine sulfate in a medication called Lomotil, which serves as an additional deterrent against abuse due to atropine's side effects such as dry mouth, flushing, and rapid heartbeat. It is important to note that diphenoxylate has a high potential for abuse and dependence, and it is classified as a Schedule V controlled substance in the United States.
