Hyoscyamine Sulphate

About Hyoscyamine Sulphate

Hyoscyamine Sulphate belongs to the group of anticholinergics and antispasmodics. Hyoscyamine Sulphate is used as adjuvant therapy in various abdominal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and peptic ulcer. Hyoscyamine Sulphate is also used to treat muscular spasms in kidney, bladder and stomach diseases, such as cystitis (UTI), diverticulitis, pancreatitis and gastric colic (spasmodic pain). In addition, Hyoscyamine Sulphate may be used to relieve tremors in patients who have Parkinson's disease. Hyoscyamine Sulphate also finds application as a desiccating (drying) agent in disorders of abnormal secretion such as excessive sweating, salivation and even diarrhoea. IBS is an intestinal and gastric disorder causing spasmodic pain in the abdomen. Peptic ulcer disease is a disorder characterised by rupturing of the inner lining of the gut caused by the action of excess stomach acid. Inflammation of the pancreas and urinary bladder is referred to as pancreatitis and cystitis, respectively.

Hyoscyamine Sulphate contains Hyoscyamine Sulphate, which is an anticholinergic. By blocking the activity of acetylcholine, Hyoscyamine Sulphate helps control disease states produced by an excess of secretions of the body, including sweat, saliva, urine, tears and faeces. In addition, Hyoscyamine Sulphate also works as an antimuscarinic agent, relieving painful cramps produced in organs during disorder and disease.

Hyoscyamine Sulphate is a prescription-only medication. Take Hyoscyamine Sulphate as directed by your doctor. In some cases, Hyoscyamine Sulphate may cause common side effects such as dry mouth, skin dryness, constipation, dizziness, fatigue and decreased urine output. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you should talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.

You should inform the doctor if you are allergic to Hyoscyamine Sulphate or any of its components. Keep your doctor informed if you suffer from an enlarged prostate, bladder obstruction, intestinal obstruction, severe inflammatory bowel disease, toxic megacolon, myasthenia gravis or glaucoma. You should use Hyoscyamine Sulphate with caution in case of thyroid disease, kidney disease, heart problems, GERD or hypertension. Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you are using antacids, antidepressants, bisphosphonates, heart medicine or antihistamines. Discuss your entire surgical history with the doctor and any previous intestinal operations. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Hyoscyamine Sulphate. Avoid consuming alcohol with Hyoscyamine Sulphate, as there may be an interaction. While taking Hyoscyamine Sulphate, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery because it may cause drowsiness or dizziness.

Medicinal Benefits

Hyoscyamine Sulphate is an anticholinergic/antimuscarinic drug used to control visceral spasms. It contains Hyoscyamine Sulphate. It is used primarily in the treatment of IBS and to treat peptic ulcers. Acetylcholine is a substance that controls and modulates the various secretions of the body, including sweat, saliva, urine, tears and faeces. By blocking the activity of acetylcholine (anticholinergic), Hyoscyamine Sulphate helps curb and treat disease states produced by an excess of these secretions. In addition, Hyoscyamine Sulphate also works as an antimuscarinic agent, relieving painful cramps and contractions produced in organs during disorder and disease.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Irritable Bowel Syndrome: IBS is an intestinal and gastric disorder causing spasmodic pain in the abdomen, flatulence, diarrhoea and constipation. It may be caused by an underlying disease or a food allergy. IBS also has psychological causes and can be precipitated by stress.

Peptic Ulcer Disease: An ulcer is a sore on the inner lining of an organ. Peptic ulcers are sore craters formed in the inner lining of the stomach or intestine due to the action of excessive hydrochloric acid. They are characterised by dyspepsia, gas, loss of appetite, heartburn, upper abdominal pain and fatigue.

Pancreatitis: Swelling of the pancreas is referred to as pancreatitis. It is commonly seen in alcoholics. It may be of sudden onset, or it may develop as a chronic condition. Nausea, vomiting and writhing abdominal pain are common symptoms of the disease.

Diverticulitis: Diverticula are outpouchings formed in the inner lining or mucosa of the intestine. Diverticulitis occurs when these pouches swell up and show signs of pain, inflammation, tenderness and soreness. Common symptoms are cramps, bloating, diarrhoea, flatulence and indigestion.

Cystitis: Inflammation of the urinary bladder is referred to as cystitis. It occurs because of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Common symptoms include burning or stinging sensation while urinating, loss of appetite, fatigue, lower back pain, frequent and cloudy, smelly urine, a sense of incomplete emptying of the bladder and fever.
