What’s N-butyl-hyoscine?

For the record, N-butyl-hyoscine is a prohibited substance which is present in Buscopan and Spasmogesic. Typically, it is a treatment for horses with colic.

There are already a lot of times in the past which Victorian thoroughbred racehorses testing positive in post-race urine samples to n-butyl-hyoscine. Effects of this substance are said to be similar to those of propantheline bromide’s. Propantheline bromide which later became more known to be “Blue Magic” was the center of so many inquiries before and eventually its use was the cause of some lengthy disqualifications.
