Methylscopolamine, also known as methscopolamine, was a medication used to treat stomach ulcers. Its use has mostly been replaced by proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers which are more effective. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include dry mouth, decreased sweating, blurry vision, and increased intraocular pressure. Other side effects may include allergic reactions, sleepiness, and heat stroke. It is an antimuscarinic which acts by blocking the acetylcholine.

Methylscopolamine was patented in 1902 and approved for medical use in 1947. In the United States 60 tablets of 2.5 mg costs about 32 USD as of 2021.
