Product Information

Buscopan 10mg Tablets are used for the effective, targeted relief from the pain and discomfort caused by abdominal cramps and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Unlike general painkillers, Buscopan works directly on the source of the pain, the cramping muscles of the stomach and bowel. This helps your digestive tract return to its natural rhythm.

Key Benefits

  • Fast-Acting: Starts to work in just 15 minutes.
  • Multi-Action Relief: Relieves abdominal pain, cramps, spasms, and bloating.
  • Targeted Antispasmodic: Acts specifically on gut muscles rather than masking pain globally.
  • Pharmacist Recommended: A trusted solution for both occasional cramps and medically diagnosed IBS.

The Science of Hyoscine Butylbromide

The active ingredient in Buscopan, Hyoscine Butylbromide, belongs to a group of medicines called "anti-spasmodics". Abdominal cramps occur when the muscles in the wall of your stomach or bowel tighten irregularly. Buscopan works by relaxing these tightening muscles, providing predictable relief from the sharp, stabbing pains associated with digestive sensitivity.

How To Use

For the most effective relief of stomach cramps and IBS symptoms, follow these dosage instructions carefully:

  • For Abdominal Cramps (Adults & Children 12+): Take two tablets up to four times a day.
  • For IBS Symptoms (Adults & Children 12+): Start by taking one tablet three times a day. This can be increased to a maximum of two tablets four times a day if required.
  • Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 8 tablets (80mg) in any 24-hour period.
  • How to Take: Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets, as they are specially coated for a slow release.
  • Duration: Do not take Buscopan continuously for more than 2 weeks without consulting your doctor.

Who Can Use Buscopan 10mg?

Buscopan is specifically formulated for adults and children over 12 years old who experience discomfort or spasms in the digestive tract.

Important Safety Warnings:

  • Over 40s: If you are over 40 years of age and it has been some time since your last attack, or if your symptoms feel different this time, you must consult your doctor before use.
  • Pregnancy & Breast-feeding: You should not take Buscopan if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are currently breast-feeding.
  • Medical Conditions: This medicine is not suitable for individuals with glaucoma (increased eye pressure), myasthenia gravis, or a confirmed blockage of the bowel.
  • Sugar Intolerance: Each tablet contains sucrose. If you have an intolerance to certain sugars, please contact our pharmacist or your GP before use.
