A small arrow pointing down

Hyoscyamine Sulfate 0.375 mg Slow Release Capsules are a compounded formulation used to treat a variety of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, bladder spasms, and peptic ulcers. The medication functions by blocking certain nerve signals in the body, which aids in reducing muscle spasms and decreasing stomach acid production.

This specific formulation is designed with Methocel E4M, a type of controlled-release polymer.

Patients are advised to take this medication as directed by their healthcare provider. Consistency is key with this medication, so it should be taken at the same time each day to ensure consistent symptom relief. It's important to note that this medication may cause drowsiness, so patients should avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, while taking it.

Prescribers should be aware that this formulation is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12. Additionally, this medication may interact with other medications, so it's crucial to review the patient's medication list prior to prescribing.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Hyoscyamine Sulfate 0.375 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specialized formulation designed to treat a range of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, bladder spasms, and peptic ulcers. The key ingredient, hyoscyamine sulfate, is encapsulated within a controlled-release polymer, Methocel E4M, which allows for a gradual and sustained release of the medication into the body. This slow release mechanism offers several benefits including sustained therapeutic effects, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance, particularly for medications requiring a controlled and prolonged release profile.

The slow release of hyoscyamine sulfate ensures a consistent level of medication in the body, reducing the risk of side effects and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment. The medication works by blocking specific receptors in the body that produce chemicals causing symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions. By inhibiting these receptors, Hyoscyamine Sulfate 0.375 mg Slow Release Capsules can effectively alleviate the symptoms of these conditions.

It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency when taking Hyoscyamine Sulfate 0.375 mg Slow Release Capsules. Taking more or less than the prescribed amount, or more frequently than advised, can potentially lead to adverse effects. It is also important not to discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor, as abrupt cessation can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a resurgence of the original symptoms.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
