Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Smooth muscle spasms

Medicinal Benefits

Buscopil Injection belongs to a group of medicines called anti-spasmodic agents which are used to treat gastrointestinal and urogenital spasms (stomach, intestines, biliary tract, pancreas, and urinary tract). Additionally, it may be used for diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures where spasms may be an issue, such as barium enema (an x-ray exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the colon) or gastroduodenal endoscopy, as well as to induce smooth muscle relaxation prior to radiological procedures like pyelography (x-ray exam to detect abnormalities in the urinary tract). Buscopil Injection works by relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestine, and bladder. Thus, it provides relief from cramps, discomfort, and pain.
