A product which has antimuscarinic/anticholinergic effects, similar in action to atropine. It has antispasmodic properties on smooth muscle. Indicated in functional conditions of the intestine, gall bladder, uterus and bladder.
Since the last update, we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.

There is hardly any published scientific data on this product: fewer than 10 articles (only 4 on humans) collected in PubMed and the last one dates from 2001.
Until there is more published information about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, better known alternatives may be preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in case of prematurity.

The literature on this drug is scarce and it is sold in few countries.
