Hyoscyamine for Crohn's Disease Reviews

Levsin SL (hyoscyamine) "I have been using Levsin SL for many years for Crohn's (severe spasms). It is very effective. Two years ago, I started having severe spasms and leg cramps due to some unknown disease that is affecting my legs. I have constant pain in my leg muscles and long bones. I also have severe leg spasms/cramps at night. I discovered one night when having both colon and leg spasms that the Levsin SL stopped the leg muscle spasms. I discussed with my doctor, and I started using it at night to treat my leg spasms. The spasms are quite severe, with a pain level of up to 9 out of 10. Levsin is the only medication that I have found to be effective. The half-life for me is around 2-2.5 hours."


"I have been on hyoscyamine 0.125 mg for a year actually for ulcerative colitis, it works very well for my cramps and spasm. My insurance do not want to cover it anymore. They finally give me the generic form witch is the same name . I took one it give me terrible pain in the left side of my head moving down the back of my ears. I stop using it can't deal with the pain it also send up my blood pressure."


Levsin SL (hyoscyamine) "Was given in ER for cramping. Worked quick! Lasted for several hours."


HyoMax SR (hyoscyamine) "Some of the stomach pain went away but this medicine gave me blurred vision."
