Methylscopolamine, also known as methscopolamine, was a medication used to treat stomach ulcers.[1] Its use has mostly been replaced by proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers which are more effective.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]
Common side effects include dry mouth, decreased sweating, blurry vision, and increased intraocular pressure.[1] Other side effects may include allergic reactions, sleepiness, and heat stroke.[1] It is an antimuscarinic which acts by blocking the acetylcholine.[1]
Methylscopolamine was patented in 1902 and approved for medical use in 1947.[2] In the United States 60 tablets of 2.5 mg costs about 32 USD as of 2021.[3]
