Description
Buscopan is a well-known medication used to relieve abdominal cramps and spasms caused by conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), period pain, or other digestive disturbances. Its active ingredient, hyoscine butylbromide, works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the stomach, intestines, and urinary tract. This helps to ease painful spasms and reduce discomfort, allowing the muscles in the abdomen to move more normally again.
Unlike regular painkillers that only mask the sensation of pain, Buscopan directly targets the cause, muscle contractions in the digestive tract. It begins to work within about 15 to 30 minutes, offering quick relief from cramping pain. Many people find that Buscopan helps them carry on with their daily activities without the distraction of abdominal discomfort.
Buscopan is commonly available in tablet form and is swallowed whole with water. It is gentle on the stomach and can be taken with or without food. The medication is suitable for short-term use and should not be taken continuously for extended periods without medical advice.
Buscopan is generally well tolerated. However, as it works on the smooth muscles throughout the body, some users may experience mild side effects such as a dry mouth, constipation, or blurred vision. These effects are usually temporary.
General Information
Buscopan is a medication used to relieve abdominal cramps and spasms. It contains hyoscine butylbromide, a muscle relaxant that targets the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines to ease cramping discomfort.
It is commonly used to treat abdominal pain caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), digestive spasms, period cramps, and other conditions involving overactive intestinal movement.
Buscopan relaxes the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract by blocking certain nerve signals responsible for spasms. This reduces cramping and helps restore normal muscle movement in the abdomen.
Adults typically take one to two tablets, three to five times daily. Always follow the instructions from your doctor or the product leaflet.
Most people experience relief within 15–30 minutes after taking a dose.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose to make up for it.
