Buscopan is used to treat abdominal cramps and treat spasms of the stomach, intestines and bladder.
Buscopan can be used to stop cramps and abdominal pain before x-rays. Its anticholinergic effect is responsible for the antispasmodic effect on smooth muscles. It works to block sympathetic receptors in the digestive system, which is the basis for its use in treating colic and abdominal pain.
