Buscopan blocks the transmission of the neural stimuli at the intramural ganglia of the hollow abdominal organs, which are innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. Absorption and distribution studies established that Buscopan compositum is concentrated in the walls of the hollow abdominal organs causing a spasmolysis. This accounts for the lack of systemic atropine-like side effects. It remains mainly in the enterohepatic circulation. Dipyrone has central analgesic activity plus a direct effect on the smooth muscle cells, lowering the excitability of the smooth muscle fibres. This latter effect together with dipyrones antiinflammatory action enhances the properties of Buscopan. Dipyrone is well tolerated parenterally.
Clinical Action
Buscopan compositum is recommended in all conditions of severe pain involving spasm in the gastrointestinal, biliary and urogenital tracts. With intravenous administration pain often recedes before the injection is completed and pain relief is clearly apparent. The injection may be repeated after four hours if necessary. The duration of action is approximately six hours.
It brings about the relief of colic by abolishing the spasm and relieving the pain ensuring a rapid return to normal peristalsis and intestinal function.
