Temporary diplopia upon hyoscine-N-butyl bromide administration: case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hyoscine-N-butyl bromide is a widely used antispasmodic belonging to the belladonna alkaloid class of semisynthetic quaternary ammonium compounds. These compounds exert a spasmolytic action on the smooth muscles of the bile-gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, salivary glands (xerostomia), and also on the visual apparatus - in particular, the irido-ciliary complex. As a consequence, they provoke collateral effects such as mydriasis and accommodation disturbances. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who complained of not only "dry mouth" but also "cloudy vision" and a "diplopia", both of temporary type, 2 hours after oral administration of hyoscine-N-butyl bromide.

Extended-Gate Field-Effect Transistor based Sensor for Detection of Hyoscine N-Butyl Bromide in its Pharmaceutical Formulation
A novel recognition method for selective determination of the hyoscine N-Butyl bromide (HBB), an antispasmodic agent for smooth muscles, was devised using extended gate field-effect transistor (EG-FET) as transducing unit. For this purpose a PVC membrane, containing hyoscine n-butyl-tetraphenyl borate ion-pair as recognition component, was coated on Ag/AgCl wire, which was connected to the exte...

BACKGROUND Patients with acute renal colic usually require immediate diagnosis and treatment. In this clinical trial analgesic effect of hyoscine N-butyl bromide and desmopressin combination in comparison with hyoscine N-butyl bromide alone in patients with acute renal colic induced by urinary stones was assessed. METHODS The study included 114 patients randomly allocated in two groups (A and...

Hyoscine N-butyl bromide, also known as scopolamine, is a type of antimuscarinic agent. This drug is associated with numerous common side effects, including abdominal fullness, constipation, urinary retention, blurred vision, skin flushing, tachycardia, decreased sweating, and salivation. The most unfavorable side effect is hemodynamic instability. In the present case, hypotension and acute myo...

RP-HPLC; Chromatography; Hyoscine N-butyl bromide and paracetamol Abstract RP-HPLC chromatographic method was developed for the determination of hyoscine N-butyl bromide (HBB) and Paracetamol (PAR). In this chromatographic method, HBB and PAR were separated using C18 (25 cm · 4.6 mm i.d. 5 lm particle size) column as a stationary phase and water: methanol (50:50, V/V pH adjusted to 3.9 with CF3...
