wasn't sure what type of medicine the doc gave for the abdominal pain, so i went to check it up.


biology's useful after all! haha, see the paragraph below? talked abt acetylcholine, and smooth muscle contraction, and the blocking of e receptors.


the medicine i had is called dhacopan, but the generic name is: Hyoscine-N-butylbromide. its an antispasmodic, used to relieve abdominal pain caused by painful spasms in the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.


Smooth muscle contractions are caused by the neurotransmitter-acetylcholine. These contractions are not under our conscious control and we are not normally aware of them. However, if the muscles go into spasm this can cause pain.


Hyoscine prevents acetylcholine from acting on the muscle, by blocking the receptors on the muscle cells that the acetylcholine act on. Therefore, Hyoscine reduces muscle contractions. This allows the muscle to relax and reduces the painful spasms.


i hope the pain goes away soon!
