what is hyoscyamine used for

Hyoscyamine is used to relax smooth muscles and reduce spasms, especially in the digestive tract and bladder. It’s commonly used for symptoms of IBS, stomach or intestinal cramps, bladder spasms, peptic ulcers, and some bowel disorders.

What it helps with

• Stomach and intestinal cramping.

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms.

• Bladder spasms and some bladder/bowel control problems.

• Reducing secretions like stomach acid, saliva, and sweat in some cases.

How it works

Hyoscyamine is an anticholinergic/antispasmodic medicine, meaning it blocks signals that trigger muscle tightening and secretions. That is why it can calm spasms and discomfort in the gut or bladder.

Important note

It can cause side effects like dry mouth, blurry vision, constipation, trouble urinating, or dizziness , so it should be used only as prescribed.
