Pharmacological action

The drug Buscopan has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of internal organs, reduces the secretion of digestive glands.

Being a quaternary ammonium derivative, it does not pass through the BBB, so it does not have an anticholinergic effect on the central nervous system.

• gastritis with high acidity
• peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum

Contraindications

• hypersensitivity to the components of the drug Buscopan
• glaucoma
• prostate adenoma.

Side effects

• dry mouth
• thirst
• constipation
• drowsiness
• dizziness
• rapid heartbeat
• dilated pupils
• allergic reactions.

Interaction

Buscopan may enhance the anticholinergic effect of tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, antihistamines, antipsychotics, quinidine, amantadine, disopyramide, anticholinergic drugs (for example, tiotropium bromide, ipratropium bromide, atropine-like compounds).

Concomitant use of Buscopan and dopamine antagonists (e. g., metoclopramide) results in a weakening of the effect on the gastrointestinal tract of both drugs.

Buscopan may increase tachycardia caused by beta-adrenomimetics.

How to take, course of use and dosage

Rectally (suppositories), unless otherwise prescribed, adults and children over 6 years of age — 1-2 suppositories 3 times a day.

Suppositories should be removed from the shell and inserted into the rectum with the pointed end facing forward.

The duration of application is determined by the doctor.

If necessary, prescribe cholinomimetics for systemic use (for example, inject intravenous or intravenous neostigmine at a dose of 0.5-2.5 mg); conduct maintenance and symptomatic therapy; with paralysis of the respiratory muscles – intubation and mechanical ventilation; with urinary retention – catheterization of the bladder.
