Specializes in Ophthalmology

If your diarrhea: started at the same time you began hyoscine, then it may be related. Call your PCP, or whoever prescribed it for you to discuss symptoms and alternatives before discontinuing medication. Not fun, and important to address. Let your doctor instruct you what to do.
