Hyoscine Butylbromide
"For cosmetic use, Alchem offers Glabridin with all its inherent benefits"
Scopolamine or hyoscine is a tropane alkaloid drug with muscarinic antagonist effects. It is among the secondary metabolites of plants from Solanaceae (nightshade) family of plants, such as henbane, jimson weed (Datura), angel's trumpets (Brugmansia), and corkwood (Duboisia). Hyoscine Butylbromide is a quaternary ammonium compound and a semisynthetic derivative of scopolamine that is derived from the purified extract of the Australian native Duboisia Bush. Abdominal pain and cramps are a frequent problem in the adult population, estimated to occur in up to 30% of the population. They are considered a functional gastrointestinal tract disorder and are effectively controlled using antispasmodic agents. Hyoscine Butylbromide is a peripherally acting antimuscarinic, anticholinergic agent used as an abdominal-specific antispasmodic.
Hyoscine Butylbromide has high affinity for muscarinic receptors located on the smooth-muscle cells of the GI tract. Its anticholinergic action exerts a smooth-muscle relaxing/spasmolytic effect. Blockage of the muscarinic receptors in the GI tract is the basis for its use in the treatment of abdominal pain secondary to cramping.
It is used for treating spasms of the stomach, intestines or bile duct (gastro-intestinal tract), spasms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and spasms of the bladder or urinary system (genito-urinary tract). It is not an analgesic in the normal sense, since it doesn't 'mask' or 'cover over' the pain, but rather works to prevent painful cramps and spasms from occurring in the first place.
Hyoscine butylbromide is sometimes used to reduce secretions in the lungs. It is also effective in significantly reducing the duration of the first stage of labour and is also effective in the treatment of renal colic due to its ability to control the intense colicky pain associated with this condition. Furthermore, it is considered useful in some invasive diagnostic procedures performed on the gastrointestinal tract, such as colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy.
The product addresses broad spectrum physiological concerns and has the band width and capabilities to meet expectations. Regular use should exhibit demonstrable results to inhibit various health related issues.
