Dose‐response relationships of intravenous hyoscine butylbromide and atropine sulphate on heart rate in healthy volunteers.

Abstract: 1 Heart-rate responses to intravenous hyoscine butylbromide, atropine and physiological saline in cumulative dosage regimens have been recorded in six healthy subjects. 2 Atropine sulphate induced bradycardia at low, and tachycardia at higher, dose levels whereas hyoscine butylbromide caused only tachycardia but with a flatter dose-response relationship. 3 Exact potency ratios could not be calculated because of the differing dose-response curves. However, an approximate estimate from a comparison of equiactive… Show more

“…This probably reflects the recognised antimuscarinic properties of this drug. 12 Hyoscine butylbromide is often necessary during ERCP, but should be used in as low a dose as possible and only when really needed rather than routinely.…”

“…The reference drug, hyoscine butyibromide (40mg s.c.), which is considered as a peripheral muscarinic blocker (Grainger & Smith, 1983), since its ionized polar structure does not allow an easy crossing of the blood-to-brain barrier, produced some of the expected effects of an anticholinergic drug. Heart rate and sinus arrhythmia were affected by hyoscine butylbromide as well as salivary flow and accommodation.…”

“…A reference anticholinergic drug hyoscine butylbromide (Grainger & Smith, 1983;Herxheimer & De Groot, 1977;Herxheimer & Haefely, 1966), was selected as a positive control to assess peripheral anticholinergic activity since its polar structure does not allow the drug readily to cross the blood to brain barrier.…”

“…Although hyoscine is considered a relatively safe medication [35,36] , Marshall et al [21] reported patients who developed sinus [28] used a slightly higher dose (40 mg) compared to other studies. However, it this study was removed, the results were unchanged.…”
