Treatment of stomach ache

Sometimes it is not easy to ascertain exactly what is causing the stomach ache. When it is associated with cramping, the treatment is focused on relieving the symptoms. In this case, pharmacists and doctors frequently recommend a product to relieve the cramping pain. The most popular antispasmodic in Australia is hyoscine butylbromide.

Hyoscine butylbromide is one of a category of drugs known as antispasmodics. The source of the active ingredient is the Australian native Duboisia bush. It works by interrupting the messages that the brain sends to the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract which causes the muscles to relax. Unlike analgesics which only mask abdominal pain, hyoscine butylbromide reduces the cramps and spasms that cause the stomach pain and generally provides relief of pain within 30 minutes.
