What Is Hyoscyam

Updated

I acquired P. HYOSCYAM in a large antique looking tin and am wondering if anyone can provide further information on it? I was told it could possibly be from the civil war era.

Hello, Ben! How are you?

Yes, it is most likely very old.

Hyoscyamine is an antispasmodic that is used to treat conditions, such as IBS, peptic ulcers, pancreatitis and cystitis. It is not very commonly used, anymore. Though, it is still available in the U.S. via prescription.

Typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include dry mouth, dry throat, eye pain, blurred vision, dizziness and flushing.

It can be toxic, if someone takes too much, so it has to be dosed very carefully.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I seriously doubt the pills are from the civil war era. The tin possibly is from that era
