Do not use it for extended periods.

Worsening or persistent stomach pain should be investigated by your doctor to determine the cause of the pain.

How it is given

This medicine should only be given by a doctor or nurse and in a setting where appropriate equipment is readily available for diagnosis and patient monitoring.

The injections can be given deeply into a muscle (e.g. the buttock, upper leg, or upper arm) or can be given as a slow injection into the vein.

If you receive too much Buscopan

These injections are given under medical supervision and it is very unlikely that you will be given too much.

Symptoms of an overdose may include drowsiness, dry mouth, difficulty passing urine, reddening of the skin, decreased gastrointestinal tract movement, fast heart rate and sight disturbances.

If you think that you have been given too much Buscopan, you may need urgent medical attention.

Tell your doctor or medical staff immediately if you feel you have been given too much Buscopan.

You should do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.

If you experience any signs of overdose after you leave the doctor or nurse, you should immediately:

  • phone the Poisons Information Centre
    (by calling 13 11 26 if you are in Australia), or
  • phone the National Poisons Information Centre
    (by calling 0800 POISON or 0800 764 766 if you are in New Zealand), or
  • contact your doctor, or

mechanical stenosis in the gastrointestinal tract;
achalasia;
paralytic or obstructive ileus;
intestinal atony;
prostatic hypertrophy with urinary retention;
myasthenia gravis;
glaucoma;
pathological tachyarrhythmias;
megacolon.
Buscopan should not be given to patients with porphyria as, according to a single report, it has been said to exacerbate the disease.
By intramuscular injection, Buscopan ampoules are contraindicated in patients being treated with anticoagulant drugs as intramuscular haematoma may occur. In these patients, intravenous routes may be used.
Buscopan and Buscopan Forte tablets should not be used in patients with rare hereditary conditions that may be incompatible with the tablet excipients (see Section 4.4 Special Warnings and Precautions for Use).

4.4 Special Warnings and Precautions for Use

In case severe, unexplained abdominal pain persists or worsens, or occurs together with symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting, changes in bowel movements, abdominal tenderness, decreased blood pressure, fainting or blood in stool, medical advice should immediately be sought.
Hyoscine may cause drowsiness: patients so affected should not drive or operate machinery. Patients should abstain from alcohol. However, as a quaternary ammonium compound with low lipid solubility, Buscopan cannot cross the blood/brain barrier easily and only rarely causes the central nervous system side effects associated with atropine and hyoscine.
After parenteral administration of Buscopan, patients with visual accommodation disturbances should not drive or operate machinery until vision has normalised.
Elevation of intraocular pressure may be produced by the administration of anticholinergic agents such as Buscopan in patients with undiagnosed and therefore untreated narrow-angle glaucoma. Patients should be advised to seek urgent ophthalmological advice if they develop a painful, red eye with loss of vision after an injection of Buscopan.
Because of the potential risk of anticholinergic complications, caution should be used in patients prone to narrow angle glaucoma as well as in patients susceptible to intestinal or urinary outlet obstructions and in those inclined to tachyarrhythmia.
After parenteral administration, cases of anaphylaxis including episodes of shock have been observed. As with all drugs causing such reactions, patients receiving Buscopan by injection should be kept under observation.
One Buscopan tablet contains 41.2 mg sucrose, resulting in 329.6 mg sucrose per maximum recommended daily dose. Patients with the rare hereditary condition of fructose intolerance should not take this medicine.
One Buscopan Forte tablet contains 138.5 mg lactose, resulting in 554 mg lactose per maximum recommended daily dose. Patients with the rare hereditary conditions of galactose intolerance e.g. galactosaemia, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption, should not take this medicine.
Patients with cardiac conditions who are undergoing parenteral treatment with Buscopan ampoules should be monitored.
Buscopan Ampoules can cause tachycardia, hypotension and anaphylaxis, therefore use with caution in patients with cardiac conditions such as cardiac failure, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia or hypertension, and in cardiac surgery. Monitoring of these patients is advised. Emergency equipment and personnel trained in its use must be readily available.

Use in the elderly.

No data available.

Paediatric use.

See Section 4.2 for information on paediatric dosing.

Effects on laboratory tests.

No data available.

4.5 Interactions with Other Medicines and Other Forms of Interactions

The anticholinergic effects of drugs such as amantadine, tri- and tetracyclic antidepressants, quinidine, antihistamines, antipsychotics, disopyramide, phenothiazines, belladonna alkaloids, other anticholinergics (e.g. tiotropium, ipratropium, atropine-like compounds) and MAO inhibitors etc, together with the tachycardia induced by beta-sympathomimetics, can be potentiated by Buscopan.
The concomitant administration of dopamine antagonists, such as metoclopramide, can reciprocally antagonise the effect on gastrointestinal tract motility.

4.6 Fertility, Pregnancy and Lactation

Effects on fertility.

No data available.
(Category B2)
There is limited data from the use of hyoscine butylbromide in pregnant women.
As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of Buscopan during pregnancy.
There is insufficient information on the excretion of Buscopan and its metabolites in human milk. As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of Buscopan during lactation.

4.7 Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines

No studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed. However, patients should be advised that they may experience undesirable effects such as accommodation disorder or dizziness during treatment with Buscopan ampoules.
Therefore, caution should be recommended when driving a car or operating machinery. If patients experience accommodation disorder or dizziness, they should avoid potentially hazardous tasks such as driving or operating machinery.

4.8 Adverse Effects (Undesirable Effects)

Many of the listed adverse effects of Buscopan can be attributed to its anticholinergic properties. Anticholinergic side effects of Buscopan are generally mild and self limited.

Immune system disorders.

Tablets: anaphylactic reactions with episodes of dyspnoea and anaphylactic shock, skin reactions (e.g. urticaria, rash, erythema, pruritus), facial and periorbital swelling and other hypersensitivity reactions.
Ampoules: anaphylactic shock including fatal outcome, anaphylactic reactions, dyspnoea, skin reactions (e.g. urticaria, rash, erythema, pruritus) and other hypersensitivity reactions.

Eye disorders.

Ampoules: accommodation disorders, mydriasis, increased intraocular pressure.

Cardiac disorders.

Tablets and ampoules: tachycardia.

Vascular disorders.

Ampoules: decreased blood pressure, dizziness and flushing.

Gastrointestinal disorders.

Tablets and ampoules: dry mouth.

Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders.

Tablets and ampoules: dyshidrosis, abnormal sweating.

Renal and urinary disorders.

Tablets and ampoules: impaired micturition. Urinary retention.

Nervous system disorders.

Very rarely in the national post marketing surveillance data base, there have been isolated reports following parenteral administration of coma, hallucinations, dystonia, confusion, agitation and dizziness from which the patient recovered after drug withdrawal and appropriate treatment. In very rare cases, dyspnoea has been reported.

Reporting suspected adverse effects.

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after registration of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit-risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions at www.tga.gov.au/reporting-problems (Australia) or https://nzphvc.otago.ac.nz/reporting/ (New Zealand).

4.9 Overdose

Symptoms.

Serious signs of poisoning have not been observed in man. In case of overdose, anticholinergic symptoms such as urinary retention, dry mouth, reddening of the skin, inhibition of gastrointestinal motility, tachycardia, drowsiness and transient visual disorders may occur.
Toxicity data from studies in animals after parenteral administration suggest that the following may be possible: shock, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, respiratory paralysis, clonic spasms, paralysis of striated muscle, coma, paralytic ileus, bladder atony.

Management.

After oral overdose, induce emesis, gastric lavage, activated charcoal followed by magnesium sulfate (15%). Supportive measures if necessary should be instituted. Symptoms of overdosage may respond to parasympathomimetics. Ophthalmological advice should be sought urgently in cases of glaucoma. Pilocarpine may be administered locally in patients with glaucoma. Sympathomimetics may be used for circulatory support. For mental excitation, diazepam.
Cardiovascular complications as a result of using this medicine should be treated according to usual therapeutic principles. In case of respiratory paralysis, intubation and assisted respiration. Catheterisation may be required for urinary retention. In addition, appropriate supportive measures should be used as required.
For information on the management of overdose, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre on 0800 POISON or 0800 764 766 (New Zealand).

5 Pharmacological Properties

5.1 Pharmacodynamic Properties

Mechanism of action.

Buscopan is a quaternary ammonium compound which, as an anticholinergic agent, has a ganglion blocking component. Due to its anticholinergic action, Buscopan reduces the tone and peristalsis of smooth muscle in hollow organs with parasympathetic innervation. As a quaternary ammonium compound with low lipid solubility, it cannot pass the blood/brain barrier easily and only rarely causes the central nervous system side effects associated with atropine and hyoscine.
Buscopan is a spasmolytic. The anticholinergic spasmolytic effect is based both on competitive inhibition of the parasympathetic activation of smooth muscle mediated through muscarinic receptors and, more markedly, through ganglionic blockade of neural transmission.
Buscopan is a powerful smooth muscle relaxant, effective when given by mouth or by injection. In the recommended dosages, Buscopan relieves smooth muscle spasm rapidly. Undesirable 'atropine-like' side effects such as blurred vision, palpitation or dry mouth are rare.

Clinical trials.

No data available.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic Properties

Absorption.

Buscopan is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly distributed. The bioavailability of oral Buscopan, as calculated from plasma levels, is reported to be 0.13%.

Distribution.

Upon oral administration hyoscine butylbromide concentrates especially in the tissue of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys. The high affinity of this agent to the tissue is reflected by the very short half-life, t-alpha of 3 minutes (distribution phase) of the blood levels, while the excretion rates are slow. Thus, in spite of the extremely low blood levels measurable over a short period of time, hyoscine butylbromide remains available at the site of action in the tissue in high concentrations.

5.3 Preclinical Safety Data

Genotoxicity.

No data available.

Carcinogenicity.

No data available.
