Product Description:

Hyoscine N Butylbromide (Hyosaph) is an antispasmodic medication that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and other areas of the body. The active ingredient, Hyoscine N Butylbromide, is a muscarinic receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for stimulating muscle contractions in smooth muscles, which helps to reduce spasms and discomfort.

Each Hyoscine N Butylbromide (Hyosaph) tablet contains 10 mg of Hyoscine N Butylbromide. The pack contains 100 tablets.

Hyoscine N Butylbromide (Hyosaph) is primarily used for the treatment of conditions that involve smooth muscle spasms. These include:
