Forgotten intake of BUSCOPAN Tablets: If a dose has been forgotten, take it as soon as it is remembered. However, if it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
Injection: Dosing Considerations: Individual response to BUSCOPAN (hyoscine butylbromide) may vary and doses should be adjusted accordingly.
Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment: One half (10 mg/0.5 mL) to one ampoule (20 mg/1 mL) administered parenterally by intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous routes, at a slow injection rate of 1 mL/min. No dilution of the solution is necessary prior to administration. The maximum dose should not exceed 100 mg/day (5 ampoules).
Missed Dose: In case a dose has been missed, take the next dose as scheduled. Do not double the dose.
Administration: The rapid action of injected BUSCOPAN is advantageous in acutely ill patients and in those situations where prompt spasmolytic activity facilitates diagnostic procedures such as radiological examinations. BUSCOPAN solution may also be used intramuscularly 10-15 minutes before radiological examinations of the stomach to slow peristaltic movements.
