Question 1

i have bad pain in my diaphragm that wont go away with buscopan or gaviscon. can only see gastroenterologist in may. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Modify appropriately: May check if pain is associated with food and eliminate specific food/drink. Also check if associated with cough or position and modify appropriately. There are many OTC anti-acids like Maalox, Mylanta, Rolaids, Tums... H2 blockers like Tagamet &amp; Pepsid or PPI's like Omeprazole...  One can try one or the other of these while waiting for GI consult. Improved or not still keep appointment

Dry mouth.

Allergic skin reactions.

Question 8

buscopan acid suppression, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Buscopan: Buscopan, as an anticholinergic, can result in some acid suppression, although it is a weak effect. This should not cause any side effects, and if the stomach is contributing to the abdominal symptoms, it may actually help a little bit. Hope that helps.

Question 9

gaviscon advanced making me bloated why?

Accepted Answer

: Gaviscon is a medication that helps gut gas come together and allow it to be expelled. It does not change why the gut makes bowel gas (bloating). Gut gas is a combination of air swallowed during feeds and gas created by gut germs as they feed off of digestive debris. Taking probiotics may alter the existing gut germs enough that the gas production declines.

Question 10

can i take buscopan with antihistimanes?

Accepted Answer

NOT recommended: Buscopan (hyoscine/scopolamine butylbromide, ) is a type of medicine called an antispasmodic (peripherally acting antimuscarinic-anticholinergic).  It is used to relieve irritable bowel symptoms or 'abdominal cramps' .
Buscopan can 'potentiate' (or increase)  anti-cholinergic affects of anti-histamines so it not recommended to take at the same time.
