Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica has launched Buscopan 20mg/ml injection, an antispasmodic treatment for use in cases of equine colic, and an aid to the symptomatic treatment of calf scour.

A sister product to Buscopan Compositum which contains both an antispasmodic and a non-steroidal component, Buscopan 20 contains only the antispasmodic component - hyoscine butylbromide.

Craig Beck, equine sales and marketing manager at Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica said: "Our customers have been telling us for some time that they would really welcome a Buscopan formulation without an NSAID for use in horses and cattle. I'm pleased to say that it's finally here and I'm sure that Buscopan 20 will be a very welcome addition to the armoury of both equine and cattle practitioners."

Buscopan 20 is supplied in a 50ml multi-dose bottle, and is available in veterinary wholesalers now.
