Could I give my child Scopex 10mg (1 tablet) for cramps? She is 3 years old. ## You should definitely run this by their pediatrician, but likely not. The active ingredient in this medication is Hyoscine, also known as Scopolamine. I was reading a leaflet on Scopex and it states "Due to the risk of provoking hyperpyrexia it should not be given to patients, especially children where the ambient temperature is high." It also says "Use with caution in children, geriatric patients, patients with diarrhoea, fever, and in conditions characterised by tachycardia". Source ## Hello, Lee! How is your daughter? Please do not give her any medication without her doctor's approval. It is very, very easy to overdose a child to the point of fatal toxicity. Additionally, there are man...

I have migraines - is the above mentioned medication good for treating them? ## Hyospasmol is listed as containing the active ingredient Scopolamine; which is used to treat conditions such as motion sickness, nausea, IBS and intestinal cramping. I actually would not recommend this medication for migraines since some of its side effects (listed below) are likely to give you a headache on their own: Blurred vision; dizziness; drowsiness; dry mouth; flushing. If you suffer from migraines there are a number of natural alternatives that don't have the side effects of this medication. I would suggest looking into some essential oils and/or herbs (such as basil and oregano) for this treatment to get the best results. Maybe even a combination of sorts :) I wish you the best and I hope this ...

is anyone being prescribed scopolamine off-label for depression? the NIMH is doing clinical trials for same and apparently it works, however my p-doc won't prescribe it for me. ## Since it is only in clinical trials, this does not necessarily mean that it works for depression. The trials may be showing some positive results, so far, but there is a lot more involved to making sure it is working and safe to be used that way. As to your doctor not prescribing it, that is entirely up to him. He is not obligated to prescribe something, just because you learned some information on it and want him to do so. What are you currently taking? ## Yes. I was in the study back in 2006 and have been successfully depression free thanks to scopolamine, taken only for a few days every 3-4 months, with...

Hello A friend of mine got back from Bogota and that His Lawyer was given something that made him lose all memory of what happened to him he was at a club was the last thing he can remember.He was robbed and left miles from the club. Police say he was drugged and robbed my People who target Americans could the drug be Scopolamine Hydrobromide ? ## I'm doubtful that Scopolamine would cause such effects, because it would probably require too large of a dosage. It was more than likely something such as Rohypnol, which is also called the date rape drug, because it causes such effects and requires only a small dosage to do so. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I hear 5 milligrams would do it?Thanks for the reply Joe

plz advise me that can i take scopinal for the discomfort of stomuch with light pain ## Have you seen a doctor to discover what is causing the problem? Whenever you are having pain, you should see a doctor, who can diagnose the problem and advise you on proper treatment. Scopinal contains the active ingredient Scopolamine and while it can help with some stomach and intestinal issues, it isn't appropriate for everything. For instance, if your pain is caused by a problem associated with stomach acid, you'd be better off with a antacid medication. ## hello my dear friend you may take this for management at onset .But its very necessary to know the cause of pain .

for example, a 70 year 0ld man with terminal cancer is receiving morphine, scropolamine, lorazepam, and rubinol via subcutaneous butterfly device. What are their specific uses in the management of the cancer patient? ## Morphine is a narcotic pain reliever, so in this case, it is being used to help alleviate his suffering and make him more comfortable. It may cause side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Scopolamine helps prevent nausea and vomiting. So, it also makes sense, because the Morphine can cause nausea, as well as other cancer treatments. Its most common side effects may include: dry mouth, nose and throat. As to mixing it with the Morphine, the only thing here that needs to be watched for is the possibility of central nervous system depression, t...

nursing consideration of buscopan ## Butylscopolamine, also known as scopolamine butylbromide and hyoscine butylbromide, is a peripherally acting antimuscarinic, anticholinergic agent used as an abdominal-specific antispasmodic. It is a quaternary ammonium compound and a semisynthetic derivative of scopolamine. It is marketed under the trade name Buscopan by Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, Germany, who also offer a combination of butylscopolamine and acetaminophen, marketed under the name Buscopan Plus. Butylscopolamine is used to treat pain and discomfort caused by abdominal cramps, menstrual cramps, or other spasmodic activity in the digestive system. It is not an analgesic in the normal sense, since it doesn't 'mask' or 'cover over' the pain, but rather works to preven...
