Suggest Alternative For Hyoscyamine To Treat Acute Spastic Colon

What is an alternative to Hyoscyamine and isn t a narcotic that will control my acute spastic colon issue? Hyoscyamine causes other issues because I have to take 3 mg0.375 doses a day for it to work. I take 80mg of Furosemide and equal of potassium. Hyoscyamine blocks the potassium absorption. What other choice is there. Nothing to date has controlled my spastic colon but Hyoscyamine but I also do not know what else is out there that may be an equivalent to Hyoscyamine. My gastro doctor doesn t seem to know. I cannot find anyone with an answer. I have tried Chlordiazep/Clid(Librax) Caps 5/2.5, Belladonna prescription, mint gel tabs, and Hyoscyamine 0.375 3 times a day.

Hello,

There are best alternatives which are not narcotic in comparison to Hyoscyamine as Drotaverine, Mefenamic acid, Chlordiazepoxide and others.

Kindly discuss the issue with your primary care provider for best guidelines in terms of usage, side effects, efficacy and need curtailed to your particular case.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
