Scopex Effects

My 2 year,9 month old has just injested a scopex compound, I am extremely concerned. What are the side effects for my child. He weighs abt 18.5lbs. ## Hi nadia, It's hard to say how this medication might effect any individual, as everyone can react differently to prescription drugs.

I was prescribed Scopex and Buscopan for kiney stones. The pain went away and I thought the stone disintegrated. ## Hello, Rene! How are you? Yes, as reported by the NIH, some of them do pass on their own and disintegrate, once they enter the bladder.

Can I also use it for menstruation cramps? ## It is listed as containing Hyoscine, so it is not likely that it will help with menstrual cramps. The NIH warns that it may cause nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and headache as side effects. What else have you tried for your cramps? Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications? ## My dr prescribed me Scopex for my period cramps, I have endometriosis as well, with the scopex he also prescribed exinef, I also have a stomch ulcer, which my gp is aware of, and the brochure inside the exinef says to not use it when you have a ulcer... He refuses to put me back on Tramacet/tramadol, which actually took away my pain almost instantly for hours, where I would literally use only 1 once every 24hrs depending on the pain, but the med...
