hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Getting the real deal of Hyoscyamine is made extremely difficult. The Ancient Greeks had Hyoscyamine but pharmacies want to push the various alloys and synthetics. I don't want HyoMax or Levsin or Hyoscyamine Sulfate. They give you what they think is selling at the time. Hyoscyamine works, if you can get the real deal.

Hyosyne (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've had IBS for about 6 years now and this medication works, its somewhat less intense than other meds for IBS but it does the job. Give it a shot its worth it.

Symax Duotab (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: This medication has greatly improved my quality of life. Had many failed therapies. Now life is not 100%; however, it is in the 90s. I am grateful for this medication.
Another issue: I take 2, twice a day. Cigna changed their prices from 50 copay each 90 day supply to 100 copay.
Nevertheless, this medication is excellent.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've been using this medication for almost 5 years. I can't believe that this isn't prescribed more often than it is because it WORKS! I had such pain with the spasms and mucus till I started using this. I do have to drink a lot more water because it makes me thirsty and it can complicate constipation. However, my doctor allows me to take it on the onset of an episode instead of 3 or 4 times a day. I've been able to gain weight and my energy has increased since using this medication. I really am happy with this medication and feel it has allowed me to live a much more normal life, almost pain free. Of course, I've changed my diet and stay away from triggers too! Good luck and I hope you have the results I've had.

Symax Duotab (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I recently took this drug for 5 days and had complete relief from my irritable bowel syndrome. However, that said, the side effects were horrible. I was the "Poster child" for adverse reactions ...arrhythmia, constipation, hallucinations. My brain felt like it was in slow motion while, my body was moving at a rapid pace.
I saw my Doctor who explained to me that this each individual is different. I gave it a 5 because it did help my bowels feel fantastic.

hyoscyamine for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: When I first began having real problems with irritable bowel syndrome, I tried Vicadin. I didn't know what was wrong with me. My doctor prescribed hyoscyamine and it worked so well. Hyoscyamine has been the only medication which has helped with my IBS. Changes in what I eat has helped, too. Stress reduction also helps...walking, better sleep. I highly recommend this medication. It is an anti-spasmodic.

hyoscyamine for Urinary Incontinence: I have found this to be better than ditropan and detrol. I can take it twice a day. It doesn't seem to give me the dry mouth that ditropan did.

Levsin (hyoscyamine) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A sub-lingual dose of Levsin for IBS will begin working within 15 minutes, offering almost immediate relief of pain and discomfort. I highly recommend it if a doctor has prescribed it.
