Overview

Sunward Sun-Dianox Tablet is a tablet with Diphenoxylate Hydrochloride declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Sunward Sun-Dianox Tablet must only be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor following an online consultation via DoctorOnCall, usually alongside adequate oral fluid and electrolyte intake to prevent dehydration from diarrhoea. Do not take more tablets or use it for longer than prescribed, and stop treatment and seek medical attention if diarrhoea does not improve within 48 hours or is accompanied by fever, blood in the stool, or severe abdominal pain.

Dosage

Dosage is individualised by a doctor and is generally kept as low as possible to control symptoms, with treatment intended for short-term use in acute diarrhoea rather than long-term or preventive use. This medicine requires special caution and is generally unsuitable for young children, so dosing must always follow the doctor’s specific instructions issued after consultation through DoctorOnCall rather than being adjusted independently.

Shelf Life

Sunward Sun-Dianox Tablet is generally stable for up to 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in its original packaging. Always check the expiry date on the blister strip or carton and do not use tablets that are past their expiry date.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, keeping the tablets in their original blister packaging. Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children at all times, as accidental ingestion by a child can be dangerous.

Contraindications

  • Obstructive jaundice or significant liver disease
  • Known hypersensitivity to diphenoxylate, atropine, or any other ingredient
  • Young children, due to a higher risk of serious side effects and overdose
  • Acute ulcerative colitis, due to the risk of a serious complication called toxic megacolon

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Alcohol and other central nervous system depressants (sedatives, sleeping tablets), which can increase drowsiness and respiratory depression risk
  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which may interact unpredictably with diphenoxylate
  • Other anticholinergic medicines, which may add to dry mouth, blurred vision, or urinary retention
  • Opioid pain medicines, which may increase the risk of sedation and constipation

Quick Tips

  • Take this medicine only as prescribed following an online consultation with a doctor through DoctorOnCall
  • Drink oral rehydration solution or plenty of fluids to replace water and electrolytes lost through diarrhoea
  • Do not use this medicine for longer than prescribed or to treat ongoing digestive discomfort that is not acute diarrhoea
  • Seek medical attention promptly if diarrhoea persists beyond 48 hours or is accompanied by fever, blood in stool, or severe pain
  • Avoid alcohol and inform your doctor of all other medicines you are taking, as interactions can increase sedation risk
