Clinical-Pharmacological Group

Spasmolytic drug

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

Drugs for the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders; synthetic anticholinergic agents, esters with a tertiary amino group

Pharmacological Action

Trimebutine, by influencing the enkephalinergic system of the intestine, regulates its peristalsis.

By acting on peripheral σ-, µ- and κ-opioid receptors, including those located directly on the smooth muscle throughout the gastrointestinal tract, it regulates motility without affecting the central nervous system.

Thus, Trimebutine restores the normal physiological activity of the intestinal musculature in various gastrointestinal diseases associated with motility disorders.

By normalizing visceral sensitivity, Trimebutine provides an analgesic effect in abdominal pain syndrome.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, Trimebutine is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

C_max in blood plasma is reached after 1-2 hours.

Bioavailability is 4-6%.

V_d is 88 L.

Plasma protein binding is low – about 5%.

Trimebutine slightly penetrates the placental barrier.

It is biotransformed in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly as metabolites (approximately 70% within the first 24 hours).

T_1/2 is about 12 hours.

Indications

Symptomatic treatment of pain, spasms and discomfort in the abdominal area, flatulence, intestinal motility disorders with changes in stool frequency (diarrhea or constipation), dyspepsia, heartburn, belching, nausea, vomiting associated with functional diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and biliary tract (non-erosive form of gastroesophageal reflux disease, cholelithiasis, biliary tract dysfunction, irritable bowel syndrome, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, postcholecystectomy syndrome).

Postoperative paralytic ileus.
