Towards evidence based emergency medicine: best BETs from the Manchester Royal Infirmary. Buscopan (hyoscine butylbromide) in abdominal colic.
A short cut review was carried out to establish whether buscopan (hyoscine butylbromide) is better than analgesics at controlling pain in abdominal colic. A total of 31 papers were found using the reported search, of which none presented any evidence to answer the clinical question. It is concluded that there is no evidence available to answer this question. Further research is needed.
