Anyone ever take hyoscyamine?

Question

my doctor just prescribed hyoscyamine for my stomach problems. can anyone tell me exactly how this effected them? is it a muscle relaxer for your intestines?

Answer 1

You will get better answers if you post this in the Health category. Here is something I got off the internet.

Hyoscyamine is used to control symptoms associated with disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It works by decreasing the motion of the stomach and intestines and the secretion of stomach fluids, including acid. Hyoscyamine is also used in the treatment of bladder spasms, peptic ulcer disease, diverticulitis, colic, irritable bowel syndrome, cystitis, and pancreatitis. Hyoscyamine may also be used to treat certain heart conditions, to control the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and rhinitis (runny nose), and to reduce excess saliva production.

Good luck)
