Methylscopolamine
Also Known As: Methylscopolamine, Extendryl, Methscopolamine, Rescon, AlleRx
Methylscopolamine or methscopolamine, usually provided as the bromide salt (trade name Pamine), is an oral medication used along with other medications to treat peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid secretion. With the advent of proton pump inhibitors and antihistamine medications it is rarely used for this any more. It can also be used for stomach or intestinal spasms, to reduce salivation, and to treat motion sickness. Methscopolamine is also commonly used as a drying agent, to dry up post-nasal drip, in cold, irritable bowel syndrome and allergy medications (trade names Extendryl, AlleRx, Rescon).
