Fast Relief for Severe Stomach Cramps
Buscopan Forte 20mg is a double-strength antispasmodic medication designed to provide targeted relief from severe abdominal pain and bowel cramps. While standard Buscopan contains 10mg of the active ingredient, the Forte variant delivers 20mg per tablet, making it highly effective for intense spasms in the digestive and urinary tracts.
How Buscopan Forte Works
The active ingredient, Hyoscine butylbromide, acts directly on the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines. By relaxing these cramped muscles, it alleviates the underlying cause of pain rather than just masking it. It typically begins to work within 15 minutes of ingestion.
Key Benefits
- Double Strength Formula: Each tablet contains 20mg of Hyoscine butylbromide for powerful relief.
- Targeted Action: Focuses specifically on the site of the cramp in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Fast-Acting: Designed to provide relief shortly after taking.
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children over 12 years, the usual dose is one tablet taken up to 3 to 4 times daily. Do not exceed 80mg (4 tablets) in a 24-hour period. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water.
Precautions
Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use if you have glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. If your stomach pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by fever, seek medical attention immediately.
