Buscopan is used to treat colic, cramps, and abdominal pain resulting from intestinal spasms, colon diseases, and irritable bowel syndrome. It works as an antispasmodic because it helps relax the muscles of the stomach, intestines, and urinary tract, and reduces muscle contractions, thus relieving pain caused by cramps.
Abdominal pain and cramps can sometimes be very painful and require certain medications to relieve pain and reduce contractions. One of the most well-known medications used for this purpose is Buscopan.
