Propantheline bromide is a well-established anticholinergic and antispasmodic agent, widely used to treat a variety of gastrointestinal and urological conditions. It works by inhibiting the actions of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in smooth muscles, thereby reducing involuntary contractions in the gut and bladder. Propantheline is especially effective in managing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), peptic ulcers, and urinary incontinence, making it a crucial therapeutic agent in gastroenterology and urology practices worldwide.
At BluepillExpress, we specialize in the third-party manufacturing of Propantheline with WHO-GMP and ISO-certified infrastructure, extensive formulation capabilities, and a commitment to regulatory compliance. Our high-precision production systems ensure consistent quality, efficacy, and safety—making us a trusted partner for pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and global exporters.
What is Propantheline?
Propantheline is a quaternary ammonium compound with antimuscarinic properties, commonly used to treat gastrointestinal hypermotility, bladder spasms, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). It is classified as an anticholinergic that blocks the parasympathetic nervous system’s effects, leading to muscle relaxation and reduced secretions.
Therapeutic Class: Anticholinergic / Antispasmodic
Mechanism of Action: Competitively blocks acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle tissues
Route of Administration: Oral
Therapeutic Indications
Propantheline bromide is used alone or in combination therapy to manage multiple conditions where involuntary muscle activity contributes to symptoms.
Primary Indications:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Peptic Ulcer Disease (as adjunct therapy)
- Functional gastrointestinal disorders
- Hyperhidrosis (off-label use)
- Bladder spasms and urinary urgency
- Pancreatic secretion control
- Preoperative preparation to reduce secretions
This medication is favored for its targeted smooth muscle relaxation with limited central nervous system penetration, reducing systemic side effects.
