Hyoscine butylbromide is indicated for the treatment of smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal, urinary, and bile excretory tracts of various animal species.
INDICATIONS
- Horses: Indicated for the reduction of intestinal pain caused by uncomplicated spasmodic colic, flatulent colic, and simple impactions. Administered as a single, slow intravenous (IV) injection. The typical dosage is 0.3 mg per kg of body weight. Its effect provides rapid, short-term relief (lasting about 30 minutes for heart rate changes, and several hours for pain relief) and can also help relax the rectum to facilitate diagnostic palpation.
- Calves: Used for its antispasmodic effect as an aid in the symptomatic treatment of calf scour (diarrhea), in conjunction with oral re-hydration and other therapies. It is typically administered by intramuscular (IM) injection in calves, at a dosage of 0.4 mg per kg of body weight.
- Cattle, Pigs, and Dogs: May be used in these species for spasms of the GI or urinary tracts, sometimes in combination with an analgesic like metamizole -. can be IV or IM, depending on the species and specific product formulation.
ADMINISTRATION
- Horses: Administered as a single dose of 0.3 mg/kg of body weight (typically 1.5 mL per 100 kg) exclusively by slow IV injection.
- Caution: Intramuscular or subcutaneous (SC) use is generally not established or recommended for horses due to the risk of local reactions.
- Cattle & Calves:
- IV or IM: Can be given intravenously or intramuscularly.
- Calves: Specifically recommended at 0.4 mg/kg (2 mL per 100 kg) via single IM injection as an aid in treating calf scour.
- Sheep & Pigs:Administered via IV injection (0.7 mg/kg for sheep; 0.2–0.4 mg/kg for pigs). IM injection is only recommended if IV access is impossible.
- Dogs:Administered via IV or IM injection at a dosage of approximately 0.1 mL per kg.
- Injection Speed: Intravenous doses must be administered slowly to minimize the risk of anaphylactic shock or sudden drops in blood pressure.
