What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide) is a medication used to treat various types of abdominal pain, including stomach cramps, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other spasm-related conditions. This drug works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, thus easing spasms. It can be taken orally or via injection and helps alleviate symptoms like bloating and pain.

Directions

Buscopan (Hyoscine Butylbromide) is typically taken as tablets. Most people take 10 mg Buscopan tablets up to three or four times a day. For adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the dosage may increase to two 10 mg tablets up to four times a day if needed. Patients should take the tablets with water. They should not chew or crush them. It's important to take Buscopan exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Ingredients

Buscopan tablets contain several ingredients that contribute to their effectiveness and stability. The active ingredient is Hyoscine Butylbromide. Inactive ingredients may include:

  • Calcium hydrogen phosphate
  • Dried maize starch
  • Soluble maize starch
  • Colloidal silica
  • Tartaric acid
  • Stearic/palmitic acid
  • Sucrose
  • Talc
  • Acacia
  • Titanium dioxide (E171)

Contraindications

Some health conditions make it unsafe to use this medication. Do not use this medication if any of the following apply to you:

  • You have an eye condition called glaucoma.
  • You have a muscle weakness disorder known as myasthenia gravis.
  • You have or might have a blockage in your bowel.
  • Your bowel is very enlarged (megacolon).
  • Your bowel is blocked and not working properly (paralytic or obstructive ileus), causing severe belly pain, no bowel movements, and possibly nausea or vomiting.
  • You are allergic to Hyoscine Butylbromide or any other ingredients in these tablets.
  • You cannot tolerate or digest some sugars (the coating has a small amount of sucrose).
  • You are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Using Buscopan in these situations can lead to serious health problems. Always talk to a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Cautions

  • Before starting treatment with Buscopan, be sure to inform your healthcare provider about the following:
    • Any medical conditions you currently have
    • Any allergies
    • All medications you are currently taking
    • Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Avoid using Buscopan continuously without identifying the cause of abdominal pain.
  • If you react to one type of belladonna medication, you might also react to Buscopan.
  • Serious allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, can occur, especially following an injection.
  • Buscopan injections can cause a fast heart rate and low blood pressure, potentially risky for those with heart conditions.
  • Each tablet contains sucrose, which is unsuitable for people with hereditary fructose intolerance.
  • Be cautious if you have issues like reflux or intestinal obstructions since Buscopan can slow intestinal movement.
  • If you have an enlarged prostate, Buscopan might worsen urinary retention.
  • Injected Buscopan may temporarily affect your vision; avoid driving or using machines if this occurs.
  • Buscopan may increase eye pressure and is advised against in patients with angle-closure glaucoma.
  • The safety of Buscopan during pregnancy and breastfeeding hasn't been established; its use is best avoided.
  • Buscopan is not recommended for children.
  • Older adults may be more sensitive to side effects such as constipation, dry mouth, and urinary retention.
  • Be cautious when driving or operating machinery as Buscopan might cause dizziness or vision issues.

Side Effects

Buscopan has several side effects, though they are usually mild and manageable. These include dry mouth, faster heart rate, blurred vision, difficulty urinating, nausea, and diarrhea.

Rarely, Buscopan can cause severe allergic reactions that may be life-threatening. Signs of a serious reaction include swelling of the face, trouble breathing, and intense skin rashes. Other serious issues might include a significant drop in blood pressure or severe eye problems. If you experience any of these symptoms, especially after taking Buscopan, seek medical help immediately.
