Shinepharm Hyoscine Butylbromide Injection 10mg/1ml (10 Ampoules)
Shinepharm Hyoscine Butylbromide Injection is a powerful antispasmodic treatment used for the fast relief of acute spasms in the stomach, intestines, and urinary system. Each box contains 10 ampoules of 10mg/1ml concentration, a dosage form often preferred in Nigeria for precise clinical administration.
What is Shinepharm Hyoscine Injection Used For?
This injection is primarily used to treat "strong" or sharp pains caused by muscle spasms. It is effective for:
- Gastrointestinal Spasms: Relief from severe stomach cramps and bowel discomfort.
- Biliary Colic: Managing pain associated with the gallbladder.
- Genitourinary Tract Spasms: Easing spasms in the bladder or kidneys.
- Diagnostic Procedures: Used by doctors to relax smooth muscles during certain medical examinations.
How it Works
The active ingredient, Hyoscine Butylbromide (also known as Scopolamine Butylbromide), targets the muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscles of the abdomen. Unlike some oral medications, the injection provides rapid relief by directly relaxing the affected organs, stopping the "twisting" sensation of a cramp.

- Consultation: If you have persistent abdominal pain, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor to rule out serious conditions like appendicitis before administration.
