How does everyone take this medication? I take it only when having D with severe cramping. Does anyone take this as a preventative? I also have the regular hyo tablets.

I have taken this medicine before and usually its when I have abdominal cramping. So I have taken it as an aide to my discomfort, but also if I have had a severe enough episode, I may take it several days in a row to get me back on track and feeling like myself again. So I would say that in short term usuage when your attacks flare up, it can be preventive in the short time use.

Hi Linda! Yes I take the regular hyoscyamine. What I like about it is that it doesnt make me drowsy like some antispasmodics. Also there is another kind of hyoscyamine that is much stronger if you find this one isnt helping any longer. Its called Levsinex, its a time release capsule so it stays in your system longer. Take care!
