Adults should take 1 to 2 tablets (10–20 mg) three to four times a day. You can take it with or without food — just swallow with water. Do not take more than 6 tablets (60 mg) in a day. Common brands in Nigeria include Colipan Tablet, Unipan Tablets, Shreecopan, and MeCure's Hyoscine Butylbromide Tablet.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue as normal. Don't double up to make up for it.
Only buy from reputable pharmacies — not roadside sellers or open markets, as fake drugs are common in Nigeria. This drug only treats cramps and spasms — if your stomach pain comes with fever, bloody stool, or vomiting, see a doctor immediately as it may be something more serious. Do not use it regularly for long periods without medical advice.
Avoid taking it with other drugs that cause drowsiness or dry mouth, like antihistamines (e.g., chlorpheniramine or promethazine). If you take metoclopramide (Plasil) for nausea, know that hyoscine may reduce its effect. Alcohol can increase dizziness, so avoid drinking while using this drug.
