About Buscogast Injection 1 ml

Buscogast Injection 1 ml belongs to a group of medicines called anti-spasmodic agents used to relieve spasms of smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urogenital tract  (stomach, intestines, biliary tract, pancreas, and urinary tract). It may also be used for diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures where spasms might be a problem, such as barium enema or gastroduodenal endoscopy, and to produce smooth muscle relaxation prior to radiological procedures like pyelography.

In some cases, Buscogast Injection 1 ml may cause side effects such as blurred vision, increased heart rate, dry mouth, dizziness, and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
