Indications

Hyoscine Butylbromide (Hysocin) is an anticholinergic medicine that relaxes the smooth muscles of various organs in the abdominal cavity, which is what gives it its antispasmodic action. The tablets are used to relieve symptoms caused by visceral spasms in the gastrointestinal tract or genitourinary tract. They are also used for spasmodic dysmenorrhea (painful periods). The injection is used for acute spasms of the gastrointestinal tract, and for severe renal (kidney) colic or biliary (gallbladder) colic. The injection also has a diagnostic use. Doctors give Hyoscine Butylbromide to relieve spasms during diagnostic and radiological procedures. These include the differential diagnosis of obstruction, reducing spasm and pain in pyelography, and gastro-duodenal endoscopy.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Hyoscine Butylbromide, like any other medicine, should be used with caution in the first trimester of pregnancy, which means the first three months.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
