About Buscopan®:

What is Buscopan® used for?

Buscopan is used to relieve painful abdominal cramps, spasms, bloating, and discomfort associated with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). It works by relaxing the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.

How Hyoscine Butylbromide Works:

Hyoscine Butylbromide blocks the action of acetylcholine on smooth muscle in the gut. This helps to reduce cramping and spasms in the bowel, offering quick symptom relief without affecting the central nervous system.

Understanding the Condition:

What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
