How does Buscopan cramp relief work?
The way Buscopan cramp relief works is via its main active ingredient - hyoscine butylbromide, which is a type of medicine called an antispasmodic. This medicine is used for smooth muscle relaxation. It is especially helpful as it relaxes the tubular organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Hyoscine Butylbromide works by relaxing the muscles found in the walls of the intestines, stomach, bowel, bile duct, and genito-urinary tract. These muscles, that are called involuntary, contract and relax without our control and normally, one isn't aware of this happening. Although, when these muscles spasm, it causes pain. This is where the Hyoscine Butylbromide comes into play, relaxing the muscle and thus reducing the painful cramps.
Directions
What dose should I choose?
Buscopan cramp relief comes in packages of 20, 40, and 60 tablets, and its dosage depends on how the person taking medicine reacts to the treatment, whether the symptoms at hand have reduced. For adults and children over the age of 12, it's best to take 2 tablets 4 times a day, and for children between the ages of 6 - 12, they should 1 tablet 3 times a day.
It is not advised to take medicine for more than 2 weeks, so in the case that your symptoms have not improved with the medication, you should urgently consult your doctor.

Please do not crush or chew the tablet, swallow the tablet whole with water, it is that simple.

How long do I take Buscopan cramp relief?
This entirely depends on how the individual takes to the medicine and how serious the conditions were in the first place.
