Buscopan Injectable Solution for Horses supports gastrointestinal health by helping manage simple impactions, flatulent colic and spasmodic colic. It works by suppressing digestive system spasms, reducing discomfort, and potentially improving behavioral responses. This anticholinergic and spasmolytic (antispasmodic) agent is indicated for use in equine patients to manage gastrointestinal spasms and associated discomfort.

Why Use It

Suppresses spasms of the digestive system. The effectiveness of Buscopan was also supported by the overall improvement in the behavioral attitudes of the horses.
