Hyoscine butylbromide, also known as scopolamine butylbromide[4] and sold under the brandname Buscopan among others, [5] is an anticholinergic medication used to treat abdominal pain, esophageal spasms, bladder spasms, biliary colic, [6] and renal colic. [7][8] It is also used to improve excessive respiratory secretions at the end of life. [9]
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.
