Prifinium bromide is a pharmaceutical drug used primarily in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome due to its action as an anticholinergic.[1]

Prifinium bromide's mechanism of action is believed to be due to its activity as an antispasmodic agent.[2]

Prifinium bromide is an antimuscarinic.[3]
