If I'm allergic to sulfa, can I take Hyoscyamine Su? ## Hi Shannan, Hyoscyamine Su does actually stand for Hyoscyamine Sulfate, so in my opinion it wouldn't be wise for you to take this pill. Hyoscyamine comes as a tablet, an extended-release (long-acting) capsule, and as a liquid to take by mouth, so it seems like there should be other options that allow you to continue taking this medication without jeopardizing your well-being. Is there anyway you can talk to the pharmacy about changing scripts?

I took pill 3 hours ago and i am in the same amount of pain if not more than when i went to hospital. Could i possibly been misdiagnosed with ibs. ## Hello, Jess! How are you? Well, this isn't actually an analgesic, so it's not going to relieve pain. What Hyoscyamine does is help alleviate the intestinal spasms associated with IBS and other gastrointestinal disorders, but it will take some time for it to reach its full level of efficacy in your body. You should only take it as prescribed and give a few weeks, to see if it works for you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dry mouth, blurred vision, dizziness and flushing. Is there anything else I can help with?
