Hyoscine hydrobromide

How can this medicine affect other medicines?

Tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you use this medicine. Likewise, always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines during treatment with this one. If this medicine is taken with other medicines that have antimuscarinic effects there may be an increased risk of side effects such as blurred vision, drowsiness, dry mouth and difficulty urinating. Other medicines with antimuscarinic effects include the following: - antihistamines, eg promethazine, chlorpheniramine - antispasmodics, eg atropine, propantheline, oxybutynin - antimuscarinic medicines for Parkinson's symptoms, eg procyclidine - antipsychotics, eg chlorpromazine, clozapine, thioridazine - tricyclic antidepressants, eg amitriptyline. If you experience a dry mouth as a side effect of this medicine you may find that medicines that are designed to dissolve and be absorbed from under the tongue, eg sublingual glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) tablets, become less effective. This is because the tablets do not dissolve properly in a dry mouth. To resolve this, drink a mouthful of water before taking sublingual tablets.
