Medicine Description buscopan 10 mg
Buscopan for Stomach Cramps & Abdominal Pain Relief is a medication that primarily functions as an antispasmodic agent. Its active ingredient, hyoscine-N-butylbromide, works by selectively blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. This inhibition leads to a reduction in involuntary muscle contractions, effectively alleviating cramps and spasms within the stomach and intestines. By relaxing the smooth muscle, Buscopan facilitates improved digestive comfort and relieves the associated pain and discomfort caused by spasmodic contractions.
