Question: why is hyoscine used in palliative care?
Answer: PHARMACY PROFILE: HYOSCINE BUTYLbromide Hyoscine BUTYLbromide is an anti-cholinergic and is primarily used in the palliative setting to manage noisy breathing at the end of life. Measures should be put into place to avoid mistaking it for the similarly sounding medicine hyoscine HYDRObromide.
