Trimebutine is a drug with antimuscarinic and very weak mu opioid agonist effects.[1] It is used for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and other gastrointestinal disorders. It is sometimes combined with simethicone as a combination drug.[2] Trimebutine is formulated as a tablet or granules for oral suspension.[3]
