Having Interstitial Cystitis. Can I Take B And O Suppositories For Severe Pain?
Yes,You can, but consult your doctor and discuss.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing to XXXXXXX
B&O (Belladona & Opium) suppositories are definitely indicated in treating moderate to severe pain due to spasms of the urinary tract.
B & O suppositories is an anticholinergic and analgesic combination. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle of the urinary tract and relieving pain.
But B&O suppositories should NOT BE TAKEN, if
- you are allergic to any ingredient in B & O Supprettes suppositories
- you are in premature labor
- you have severe bowel motility problems (eg, paralytic ileus), severe diarrhea associated with antibiotic use (pseudomembranous colitis), glaucoma, severe liver or kidney disease, bronchial asthma or severe breathing problems, or a seizure disorder
- you have alcohol-withdrawal symptoms or you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
Consult your treating doctor and take his opinion regarding usage of B&O suppositories.
Hope I have addressed your query.
