pipethanate

Pipethanate is a small molecule antimuscarinic agent with pharmacological actions similar to atropine. It acts as an antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to smooth muscle relaxation and reduction of spasticity in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. Pipethanate is primarily indicated for the symptomatic treatment of visceral spasms, gastrointestinal disorders (including irritable bowel syndrome), overactive bladder, biliary tract spasm, and other conditions characterized by excessive smooth muscle contraction. It can be administered orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, or rectally[1][2][3][4][5][6]. The drug is generally well-tolerated but may cause typical anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth and blurred vision[6].
