Reviews

We picked up some feedback from people about Buscopan:
Natasha
    Today I drank one and the first pill, in about 15 minutes, I didn’t understand that with me, my condition was like a drunk, dizziness, and my heart was fluttering, I didn’t think that this was possible after antispasmodic drugs, it’s already 4 hours and only the head enlightenment begins and I don’t know how to drink them now, I think that only for the night, and in the afternoon I couldn’t have been prescribed for such cramps in the gall.

    It helps with IBS, pains in the reproductive system and pains of the urinary tract, with spasms of the bile did not notice any benefits. But as you know, everything is individual. If I really took a few days (usually a pack and leaves) 2 tablets 3 times a day, so the gynecologist and the psychotherapist also prescribed it and when she came to the gastroenterologist, of course, you need to treat the underlying disease along the way, because anesthesia is temporary.
Elena, a doctor
    The pronounced antispasmodic effect of this M-anticholinergic does not have those negative side effects that non-selective drugs suffer. I apply with success in diseases of the gallbladder and pancreas, especially effective in painful IBS with hyperkinetic dysfunction of the colon.
In general, the majority of women, leaving reviews on Buscopan candles during pregnancy, note that its effectiveness does not always appear. Some users know that candles are prescribed for childbirth, and are interested in what pills help. There are also reports that the use of medication in the treatment of pain and colic allows you to quickly fix the problem.
