    Hyoscine Butylbromide (Buscopan) is used to treat abdominal pain by inhibiting muscarinic actions of acetylcholine in the autonomic nervous system, relieving spasticity, nausea, and vomiting and reducing secretions. It can cause side effects like dizziness, constipation, tachycardia, and dilated pupils. Nurses should monitor for adverse reactions and drug interactions, encourage voiding, and check blood pressure due to risk of hypotension. The drug is contraindicated for patients with conditions like glaucoma, asthma, or unstable cardiovascular issues.
