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.

You should take medicine until the symptoms have disappeared although you should not take medicine for more than 2 weeks, as this is the recommended limit. If symptoms haven't gone after 2 weeks, please consult your doctor, as this could be something more nefarious.
