I've probably moved on from strictly IBS but this is probably the case for many on here? Colonoscopy shows mega colon and I'm still prescribed Buscopan. Thing is, Buscopan information says it can't be taken with my condition. Anyone got any advise/ experience here...awaiting call from GP

If you can’t get advice from GP call or pop into the pharmacy who you get them from they are usually helpful and knowledgeable about the medication . I have been taking buscopan over the counter as GP won’t prescribe anything and noticed I shouldn’t be taking them with my glaucoma. Don’t know what else to take.

Thanks. GP got in touch to say I was ok with Buscopan so I'll continue as required. I also take mebeverine and laxatives as required. Hopefully you'll get medication that helps. Buscopan relaxes muscles apparently to ease spasms.
