Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Scopolamine HBr 1 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of conditions including motion sickness, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and urinary incontinence. The formulation is engineered with Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer, which ensures the gradual release of the active ingredient, scopolamine hydrobromide, over an extended period. This slow-release mechanism allows for sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance, particularly beneficial for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

In the context of motion sickness, scopolamine hydrobromide works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in the body's response to motion, thereby reducing associated nausea and vomiting. For Alzheimer's disease, it aids in improving cognitive function and reducing agitation by blocking acetylcholine, which plays a crucial role in memory and learning. In the treatment of Parkinson's disease, scopolamine hydrobromide helps to reduce tremors and improve motor function by inhibiting acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in movement.

When used for gastrointestinal disorders, scopolamine hydrobromide helps to alleviate nausea and vomiting by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in the body's response to these symptoms. For urinary incontinence, it aids in reducing the frequency and urgency of urination by inhibiting acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in bladder control.

Scopolamine HBr 1 mg Slow Release Capsules are an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, offering a controlled and prolonged release profile for improved therapeutic outcomes. If you have any questions about this formulation, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.
