Medicine Description buscopan-compositum 20mg
Buscopan Compositum 20 mg Tablets is a medication that combines dipyrone, a non-opioid analgesic, with hyoscine, an anticholinergic agent. Dipyrone works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers involved in pain and inflammation. This action helps alleviate pain through its analgesic properties. On the other hand, hyoscine reduces smooth muscle contractions in the gastrointestinal tract, effectively relieving spasms and cramps. Together, these components provide synergistic relief from abdominal pain and discomfort caused by various gastrointestinal conditions.
