Uses and Administration
Hyoscyamine is a tertiary amine antimuscarinic with the actions of atropine (which is racemic hyoscyamine) hyoscyamine, the laevo-isomer, has about twice the potency of atropine since the dextro-isomer has only very weak antimuscarinic activity. Hyoscyamine is used mainly in the relief of conditions associated with visceral spasm. It has also been given for rhinitis and was formerly used in the treatment of par-kinsonism.
Hyoscyamine is given in usual doses of 150 to 300 micrograms up to four times daily by mouth, but it is more usually employed as the sulfate the hydrobromide is also used. Suggested doses of hyoscyamine sulfate are 125 to 250 micrograms orally or sublingual-ly every four hours as needed, up to a maximum of 1.5 mg in 24 hours. Modified-release oral preparations of hyoscyamine sulfate are available in some countries dosage is specific to a particular formulation. Hyoscyamine sulfate has also been given by injection.
