Description
Buscopan Tab 10mg (Sanofi) contains the active ingredient hyoscine butylbromide.
It is used primarily as an antispasmodic agent to relieve smooth muscle spasms in conditions such as abdominal pain, cramps, irritable bowel syndrome, and urinary tract spasms.
The drug class is anticholinergic or antispasmodic.
Its mechanism of action involves blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, resulting in muscle relaxation and relief from spasms.
Buscopan is available in tablet form for oral administration.
The usual dosage for adults is 10 to 20 mg taken two to three times daily as needed. The exact dose and duration should be determined by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects can include dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, and constipation. It is contraindicated in patients with certain conditions such as myasthenia gravis, glaucoma, and obstructive gastrointestinal or urinary tract diseases.
Buscopan should be used under medical supervision, especially in patients with underlying health conditions.
