Effect of hyoscine butylbromide on cervical dilation during labor

Studies on the development of rapidly disintegrating hyoscine butylbromide tablets.

The objective of this study was to prepare hyoscine butylbromide (a drug with bitter taste) tablets that can rapidly disintegrate in saliva. The granules were prepared by the extrusion method using aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymers (Eudragit E-100). The drugs dissolved rapidly in medium at pH 1.2 in a dissolution test while none of the drugs dissolved from the granules (% of dissolved < 5%) ev...

Effect of diazepam and hyoscine butylbromide on response to secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin in man.

Ten subjects received secretin and cholecystokinin or, in duplicate tests, the two hormones together with either diazepam or diazepam plus hyoscine butylbromide in order to determine whether these drugs, which are often used during retrograde endoscopic cannulation of the pancreatic duct, affect pancreatic and biliary secretion in response to the hormones. Diazepam with hyoscine butylbromide re...

Treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with lorazepam, hyoscine butylbromide, and ispaghula husk.

A double-blind controlled therapeutic trial of factorial design was used to study the therapeutic effects of lorazepam, hyoscine butylbromide, and ispaghula husk in 12 randomised blocks of eight patients with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Each of the three agents caused a sustained symptomatic improvement in some of the patients, although only with ispaghula was the difference between the...

pharmacotherapy Update: Hyoscine Butylbromide in the Treatment of Abdominal spasms

Abdominal pain is one of the most common reasons why people seek medical care, and is often due to spasm of intra-abdominal visceral organs. Hyoscine butylbromide (HBB) is a quaternary ammonium compound which blocks the action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites (both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors) in smooth muscle, and in secretory glands. It causes decreased motility of the gastroi...
