Talk:Hyoscine butylbromide

Heading
Copyright? A lot of this page seems copied directly off http://www.buscopan.com/com/Main/buscopan/efficacy/index.jsp with an occasional word deleted... e.g. Wiki: "It doesn't mask the pain, like an analgesic. Instead, it acts on the cause of the pain: the muscle spasm itself." Buscopan.com: "It doesn't simply mask the pain, like an analgesic. Instead, it acts on the cause of the pain: the muscle spasm itself."

Kidney stones
Helps passing kidneystones... a friend of mine successfully passed a kidney stone. His doctor gave him buscopan. in New Zealand it is available under GASTRO SOOTHE label by aftpharm.com - put this info into the article and delete this please 119.224.19.252 (talk) 04:18, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Gall stones
In NZ. I was prescribed hyoscine butylbromide (gastro-soothe) to relieve occasional severe peristaltic pain (manifesting as flank and shoulder pain) caused by gall stones. Diagnosis was initially kidney stones but no evidence was found by a scan of kidneys. A subsequent scan of gall bladder revealed gall stones so diagnosis was changed. Doctor recommends removal of gall bladder.

Abuse??
I am a veterinary medical student and therefore have access to professional information about drugs. I cannot find any sources that state an abuse potential for this medication. There is also no reference indicated for that section. Should I remove it? 85.178.34.173 (talk) 10:44, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I just checked the BNF (British National Formulary) and it mentions nothing about potential for abuse as far as I can see. However, antimuscarinics do have a wide range of side effects, the severity/likelihood of which would possibly be increased by overuse.  A u l a T P N 11:44, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Bromide?
The other name for this ends with Butylbromide on the end, with "bromide" meaning bromine, but on the page it says it has C21H30NO4+ which isnt Bromine. Can anyone explain the reason for it being known as a bromide despite not having bromine? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.84.109 (talk) 23:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The used substance is a salt from the cation butylscopolamine and the anion bromide. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 12:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

brands
gah, drugs.com mixes up this drug with Hyoscine hydrobromide... the list below is useless - dangerous even.

Hyoscine butylbromide is marketed under many names worldwide, often in combination with other drugs, into both the medical and veterinary markets.
