Description

Buscopan Plus is an oral tablet that combines two active ingredients, Hyoscine-N-Butylbromide and Paracetamol, working together to relieve painful cramping in the abdominal region. While Hyoscine-N-Butylbromide relaxes the smooth muscles responsible for spasms, Paracetamol works alongside it to provide fast-acting pain relief. Together, this dual-action formula addresses both the muscle spasm and the associated pain, making Buscopan Plus a popular choice for cramp-related discomfort in the stomach, intestines, and other smooth-muscle organs. The pack contains 100 tablets, suited for occasional or short-term use as needed.

Ingredients

Each Buscopan Plus tablet combines Hyoscine-N-Butylbromide, an antispasmodic agent, with Paracetamol, a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. The tablet also contains pharmaceutical excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, starch-based binders, and a coating layer that help the tablet hold together and release its active ingredients effectively once swallowed. Patients with known sensitivities to either active ingredient or any of the inactive components should check the packaging or consult a pharmacist before use.

Dosage Form

Buscopan Plus is supplied as a film-coated oral tablet, meant to be swallowed whole with an adequate amount of water.

Uses

Buscopan Plus is used to relieve cramp-like pain in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as spasms affecting the bladder, urinary tract, and female reproductive organs, including menstrual cramps. It is commonly used for conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, stomach cramps, and other spasm-related abdominal discomfort where both muscle relaxation and pain relief are needed together.

How to Use

Buscopan Plus tablets should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of liquid, typically taken as one to two tablets up to three times a day, depending on the severity of symptoms and as advised by a doctor or pharmacist. The total daily dose should not exceed the maximum recommended amount, and the medicine should not be used continuously for more than a few days without medical advice. If symptoms persist or worsen despite use, a healthcare provider should be consulted rather than continuing self-treatment.

Side Effects

Buscopan Plus is generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, or mild digestive discomfort. Since it contains Paracetamol, prolonged or excessive use may affect liver function, so the recommended dosage limits should not be exceeded. Rare but serious reactions can include allergic responses such as skin rash, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing, which require immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Buscopan Plus is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless specifically advised by a doctor, as safety data in pregnant women is limited. It is also known to pass into breast milk in small amounts and may potentially affect an infant’s liver or kidney function, so breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before use, and may be advised to pause breastfeeding or avoid the medicine during this time.

Storage Instructions

Buscopan Plus tablets should be stored at room temperature, ideally around 25°C, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The tablets should remain in their original packaging until needed and kept well out of the reach of children. Any expired or unused tablets should be disposed of properly rather than through household waste.
