Hysomide Tablet

Description

Hyoscine Butylbromide works by competitively blocking muscarinic receptors. This action affects both the central nervous system and peripheral body systems. It leads to the relaxation of smooth muscle and reduces gastric and intestinal motility (the movement of food through the digestive tract)
