Buscomin Paediatric Drops

Who is this for?

Homatropine methylbromide is a medicine that works by relaxing the muscles in your stomach and intestines, helping to reduce cramps and spasms that cause belly pain.

Blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, inhibiting parasympathetic stimulation and reducing smooth muscle contractions. This antispasmodic effect relieves intestinal cramping and visceral pain associated with gastrointestinal disorders.

Is Homatropine safe to take with another drug?

For adults, the usual dose is 2.5 mg to 5 mg taken 3 to 4 times a day, preferably 30 minutes before meals. You can take it with or without food, but taking it before meals works best for stomach-related issues.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.

• blurred vision
• constipation

Avoid taking with antihistamines like chlorpheniramine (Piriton) as it can increase drowsiness and dry mouth. Do not combine with other stomach-relaxing drugs like hyoscine (Buscopan) without your doctor's advice. Alcohol can make the drowsiness worse, so avoid drinking while using this medicine.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it on window sills or inside cars. Keep the bottle tightly closed and always store out of reach of children.
