I'm now taking this. My doc told me to see him again in three weeks if the spasms were the same ( I have IBC C ) or worse but if the Buscopan eases the pain I'm assuming I get a repeat prescription somehow... not sure though.

Hi Syrup,
Buscopan is a common antispasmodic prescribed for IBS. Please be aware that there are several antispasmodics out there... If this one doesn't work for you then ask your doc to try another.
Good luck! Please let us know how it works for you.

I take mebeverine which is similar to buscopan and I get this on repeat prescript ion. You can buy buscopan over the counter in the UK.

don't worrie you can buy thme over the countrer. the only reason i hvae thme on a precritopn is thta i find it expensive. i take eigth a day. the pack thta yuo can buy over the counter i thnik only has abuot 20 in so i wuold be buying a pack every two days and thye cost abuot four pounds. it would hvae cost me so much. i get abuot two or three weeks worht from gp thne put in my repeat. i would ask yuor gp to put buscopan on a repeat for yuo so thta yuo dont hvae to go to thme all the time.

let me know if yuo need any more help and i will email yuo.
