I am interested in mechanism of action of buscopan. I have very painful menstruations and use buscopan to relieve pain. Is buscopan common analgesic drug?
Some of my friends avoid buscopan and use ibuprofen or aspirin. How does buscopan specifically work on my menstrual distress?

Active component in buscopan is substance called hyoscine. Hyoscin is isolated from a flower called Hyosciamus niger. It belongs to group of alkaloids. Morphine is maybe the most popular alkaloid that is used in medicine. Buscopan is made to relieve pain in gastrointestinal and urogenital tract. Its targets are muscles in the walls of stomach and intestines. Buscopan helps those muscles to relax. Mechanism of action of buscopan differents from mechanism of classical analgesics or NSAILs.
