1. What is Buscopresc and what is it used for

The active ingredient of Buscopresc belongs to a group of medicines called semi-synthetic belladonna alkaloids, quaternary ammonium compounds. It has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal, biliary, and genitourinary tracts.

Buscopresc is used in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age and in children and infants for the treatment of acute spasms of the gastrointestinal, biliary, and genitourinary tracts, including biliary and renal colic. It is also used as an adjunct in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures where spasm may be a problem, such as gastro-duodenal endoscopy and radiology.

2. What you need to know before starting to use Buscopresc

Do not use Buscopresc

  • If you are allergic to butylscopolamine bromide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
