Description
Hyopil Injection contains Hyoscine butylbromide. It is used to treat pain due to muscle spasms or cramps in conditions like kidney stones and gall bladder stones. Hyopil Injection is also used to reduce pain in pyelography (imaging of the urinary collecting system). This medicine also helps in diagnostic procedures like endoscopy (a procedure where organs inside your body are looked at by using an instrument called an endoscope), where spasms and pain are the major issues. Proper supervision is needed while using it in diagnostic procedures. Hyopil Injection should be given in the hospital setting by a qualified healthcare professional. Your doctor will prescribe this medicine when its oral form (medicine taken through mouth) does not provide relief from cramps in kidney stones or gall bladder stone conditions. Your doctor will decide the dose and frequency based on the medical need. Hyopil Injection use may cause some side effects like dry mouth, blurred vision and irregular heartbeat. Pain at the injection site or redness may be experienced. Usually, these side effects are temporary and get resolved as your body adapts to this medicine. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor at the earliest. This medicine may also cause dizziness in some people. Do not drive vehicles or operate machines if you feel dizzy. Hyopil Injection may interact with other medicines. Tell your doctor if you have/had any problems or medical conditions such as myasthenia gravis, glaucoma, liver and kidney problems etc. This medicine can interact with other medicines, so let your doctor know about all the other medications being taken. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding before taking this medicine.

Allergy

Avoid receiving Hyopil Injection if you have a known allergy to Hyoscine butylbromide. Seek medical attention if you experience any undesirable effects such as skin rash, hives, swelling ( of face, lips, tongue), etc.

Myasthenia gravis

Myasthenia gravis is a condition in which the normal communication between muscle and nerves gets altered. It is characterized by weakness and rapid fatigue of the muscles that are under the body's control (voluntary control). Hyopil Injection may suppress the communication between the muscle and nerves leading to worsening of the condition.

Acute narrow-angle glaucoma

Narrow-angle glaucoma is caused by blocked drainage canals in the eye, resulting in a sudden rise in the intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eyeballs). This is a much more rare form of glaucoma, which develops very quickly and demands immediate medical attention. Hyopil Injection may worsen the condition by increasing the pressure in the eyes. Hence, it is not recommended to use this medicine in this condition.

Megacolon

Megacolon is the abnormal dilation (widening) of the colon. It may be the complication of problems such as Inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease (swelling of the intestine). Hyopil Injection is not recommended for use in people having megacolon due to the increased risk of colon relaxation and further serious adverse effects.

Paralytic or obstructive ileus

Paralytic or obstructive ileus is a condition in which there is a blockage in the intestine without any physical obstruction. It may occur due to the impairment of nerves and muscles of the intestine. Hyopil Injection may increase the risk of this condition as it may worsen the obstruction
