The major product from drug metabolism of trimebutine in human beings is nortrimebutine,[2] which comes from removal of one of the methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. Trimebutine exerts its effects in part due to causing a premature activation of phase III of the migrating motor complex in the digestive tract.[3]
Both trimebutine and its metabolite are commercially available.

Brand names

The maleic acid salt of trimebutine is marketed under the trademarks of Debridat, Recutin, Polybutin,Trimedad [4] and Modulon.
