The receptors that hyoscine interacts with are called muscarinic receptors (there are many different types of receptor). Hyoscine works by preventing certain chemicals produced by the body, from interacting with the muscarinic receptors located on the smooth muscle of the gut. This causes the gut muscle to relax, removing the pain of colic resulting from the gut muscle contraction and spasm. This drug can also be used to treat painful periods in women.<\/p>\n<p>BARCOLAN COMPOUND is a combination between Hyoscine-N-Butylbromide and Paracetamol which is known for its analgesic and antipyretic properties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INDICATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abdominal pain associated with menstrual periods.<\/li>\n<li>Abdominal pain which comes and goes (colic).<\/li>\n<li>Irritable Bowel Syndrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>PRECAUTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Children, Diarrhea, Down&#8217;s syndrome, Fever (pyrexia), Heart attack, Heartburn, High blood pressure, Hyperthyroidism, Inflammation of the bowel and back passage, People over the age of 75 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTRAINDICATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abnormal muscle weakness.<\/li>\n<li>Enlarged prostate.<\/li>\n<li>Failure of function of part of the gut causing an obstruction (paralytic ileus).<\/li>\n<li>Glaucoma.<\/li>\n<li>Life long inherited blood diseases which can cause a variety of symptoms, including mental health problems (porphyrias).<\/li>\n<li>Narrowing of the outlet of the stomach making it difficult for food to pass into the intestines (pyloric stenosis).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients.
