Hello
Thanks for your query.     


NORMAXIN contains chlordiazepoxide + clidinium bromide ,it is used commonly for irritable bowel syndrome .It is advisable to take medicine one hour before meal or two hour after for better absorption.If you have got the relief than there is no need to repeat it.

General & Family Physician Dr. Shainaz Arif Kaware's  Response
Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Normaxin is a tablet used for Irritable bowel syndrome and even as a associated medicine in case of gastritis or gastric ulcer also.It is better to take it before food as food can interfere with the absorption of the medicine.If you have taken it after dinner the effect of the medicine will not be reduced much but just in case you do not get relief then your doctor may think over it to be given for few more days or no it will depend on the relief you get.As for the effects of the mistake as you said there will be no bad effect so do not worry just take the remaining medicines as advised and consult your doctor and tell him what happened and if you get relief after the treatment I guess even your doctor will excuse this small error.
Thanks
