What is the difference between Buscopan Cramps and Buscopan IBS Relief?
Both contain 10mg Hyoscine Butylbromide. However, Buscopan Cramps is a pharmacy-only medicine suitable for adults and children from age 6 for general stomach and period pains. Buscopan IBS Relief is a GSL medicine intended only for adults and children over 12 with a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of IBS.
Can I use Buscopan Cramps for period pain?
Yes. Buscopan Cramps is highly effective for menstrual cramps because it relaxes the smooth muscles of the reproductive and urinary tracts, providing fast relief from the “clamping” sensation of period pain.

Yes. It is generally safe to take Buscopan Cramps alongside common painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen. While the painkillers reduce general inflammation and pain signals, Buscopan specifically stops the muscle spasm.
