Hyoscine, also referred as scopolamine, is utilized as a medicine to treat motion sickness, gastrointestinal spasms, vomiting, and postoperative nausea. In addition, it is utilized sometimes before surgery to decrease saliva. Hyoscine belongs to antimuscarinic family and works by blocking some acetylcholine effects within the nervous system. Its effect begins after 20 minutes of injection and lasts up to 8 hours. The medicine can be taken by oral means or through a skin patch. Intake of this medicine is not recommended for people suffering from bowel obstruction or glaucoma.
Rise in consumer awareness towards hyoscine as an effective medicine against motion sickness is the primary factor that drive the growth of the hyoscine market. Moreover, increase in travelling, which may cause nausea, vomiting, and sickness and growth in number of surgeries supplement the market growth. However, use of transdermal hyoscine patches can cause several side effects such as blurred vision, drowsiness, and diluted pupils, which hinder the market growth. In addition, stringent regulations associated with manufacturing & marketing of hyoscine products and rise in number of cases with adverse withdrawal symptoms for transdermal hyoscine patches restrain the market growth. Increase in usage of transdermal hyoscine patches in surgeries & post-operative recovery and rise in emphasis on community healthcare in developing countries are expected to provide potential opportunities for market expansion.
