Methylscopolamine is a quaternary ammonium derivative of scopolamine and acts as a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist. It is primarily used as an antispasmodic agent to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract as well as to reduce salivation and other secretions. Due to its poor ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, it has fewer central nervous system effects than scopolamine. It is still available in some countries for gastrointestinal and other spasm-related disorders.
Pharmacokinetics
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adult oral administration. No published clinical pharmacokinetic studies with specific quantitative PK parameters for methylscopolamine found.
