Description

Buscopan Cramps Tablets

Buscopan Cramps Tablets provide fast, effective relief from stomach and bowel cramps which cause pain and discomfort associated with your digestive tract, and can also be used to relieve symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

The active ingredient in Buscopan Cramps Tablets is hyoscine butylbromide, an antispasmodic that works by relaxing the cramping muscles of your stomach and bowel, or urinary tract. Unlike painkillers which mask the pain, Buscopan Cramps Tablets work directly on the cause of pain - the spasm in the gut.

Directions

For relief of painful spasm of the stomach, bowel or bladder and urinary tubes (urinary tract)
  • Adults, and children 12 years or over: Take 2 tablets four times a day
  • Children 6 to 12 years: Take 1 tablet three times a day.
  • Children under 6 years: Not recommended.
For the relief of abdominal pain in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Adults, and children 12 years or over: Start by taking 1 tablet three times a day. You can increase your dose to a maximum of 2 tablets four times a day, if needed.
  • Children under 12 years: Not recommended.
The tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Do not take Buscopan Cramps Tablets continuously for more than two weeks. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you develop new symptoms or if your symptoms get worse or have not improved over two weeks.
