Levsin Information

Hyoscyamine Sulfate at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The brand Levsin is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Generic hyoscyamine sulfate is widely available in Canada. It is produced by several reputable manufacturers that meet Health Canada's strict quality and safety standards. Generic hyoscyamine sulfate is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary based on pharmacy inventory.

Important Information about Generic Hyoscyamine Sulfate

Generic hyoscyamine sulfate contains the same active ingredient as brand-name Levsin. It must meet the same effectiveness and quality standards. This means it is designed to work like Levsin. Studies have shown that generic hyoscyamine sulfate is bioequivalent to brand-name Levsin, meaning it has similar absorption and achieves comparable blood concentrations. However, individual responses to medication can vary due to factors such as metabolism, genetics, and other health conditions.

Dosage:

Hyoscyamine sulfate is available in the following oral strength:
• Tablets: 0.125 mg.

For adults and adolescents 12 years and older, the usual dose is 1 to 2 tablets taken three or four times daily, about 30 to 60 minutes before meals and at bedtime. Your doctor may allow dosing every 4 hours if needed. However, the total daily dose should not exceed the maximum your doctor has recommended. The maximum dose for adults and children above 12 years of age is 1.5 mg in 24 hours, while for children between 2 and 11 years of age, it is 0.75 mg in 24 hours.

Usage:

Levsin is used to treat a variety of stomach and intestinal problems, including cramping and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It may also be used for bladder control problems and to help relieve cramping pain associated with kidney stones or gallstones. As an adjunct treatment, it can also help reduce excess secretions, such as saliva, during certain other medical treatments.

Mechanism of Action
Hyoscyamine, the active ingredient in Levsin, is an anticholinergic and antispasmodic medication derived from belladonna alkaloids. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine. This chemical messenger normally stimulates the smooth muscle of the stomach and intestines to contract. By reducing this stimulation, hyoscyamine relaxes the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, easing cramping and spasms, while also slowing the natural movement of the gut and reducing the secretion of stomach acid and other body fluids.

Take Levsin exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the drug website. Tablets are generally taken by mouth, though some formulations may be placed under the tongue or chewed; follow your pharmacist's specific instructions for the product you receive.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Levsin, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Levsin.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before starting Levsin, as there is limited data on its use in this situation. Hyoscyamine passes into breast milk and may reduce breast milk supply. Consult your doctor before using while nursing. Your doctor can help weigh the benefits and risks based on your specific condition.

Use in Children:

Levsin may be used in children under a doctor's guidance. However, dosing must be carefully individualized based on the child's age and weight. Young children may be more sensitive to its effects, including overheating in warm weather.
