FAQs
What is Buscopan used for?
Buscopan helps with the reduction of abdominal pain, cramps, distention, and discomfort. Buscopan is widely prescribed for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia, diverticulitis, and other gastrointestinal disorders. It is available in both liquid and tablet form and at different doses. Buscopan can be taken regularly, as prescribed by healthcare professionals.
What does Buscopan do?
By acting on the nerves, Buscopan blocks the transmission of messages to specific receptors in the smooth muscles that line the gastrointestinal tract, allowing them to relax, thereby lessening symptoms such as cramps, bloating, and spasms.
Does Buscopan help you poop?
Buscopan, or hyoscine butylbromide (brompheniramine), is the brand name of one of the most commonly prescribed medications today for abdominal cramps and spasms, which affect the gut. Buscopan relaxes the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract; by dilating this muscle, it eases the burden of intense cramps and painful spasms. It's not meant to get the bowels moving, especially if they're stuck, but it can help this way, indirectly, by relieving tension and constriction in the gut, which can impact constipation. If you use Buscopan, do so under a doctor's supervision, and speak to a medical practitioner if you have any other medical conditions and are taking medications.
How long does Buscopan take to work?
Usually, people will start to experience Buscopan’s effects 15–30 minutes after taking a dose—a fast-acting medication for relaxing the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, bringing quick relief against stomach and intestinal cramps as soon as you feel the first signs of the pain.
How many Buscopan can I take?
For adults and children over 12 years old, for the relief and prevention of episodes of abdominal spasm associated with minor gastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, the usual dose is 2 tablets, 4 times daily. For children aged between 6 and 12 years, the usual dose is 1 tablet, 3 times daily.
Does Buscopan make you fart?
Farting from Buscopan is not always medically possible – it isn’t normally a listed side effect, and Buscopan is used to treat stomach and bowel spasms. Of course, like any medicines, Buscopan (and the related brand names) can also cause constipation, dry mouth, and so on. But farting is not something near the top of the list. Please do always refer to your doctor or suitably qualified healthcare professional for any medical advice.
How does Buscopan work?
Buscopan works by relaxing the intestinal muscles, so people with irritable bowel syndrome and abdominal cramps experience relief because the muscles that are causing them are relaxed and no longer spasming. By specifically attaining muscle ‘inactivation’ of the problem and affecting only these muscles, Buscopan helps relieve pain and improve digestion for anyone having a bad case of stomach colic.
