Brief Answer:
Yes allergic to buscopan.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

If you had blurred vision then there is a chance that you are allergic to buscopan.

Do not worry. Just tell the technician to not give you buscopan during hsg.

Also there are many other pain killers like diclofenac and ibuprofen which can be given in place of buscopan.

Atropine is always given before HSG.

Brief Answer:
Less likely to have atropine allergy

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX

No, you are less likely to have atropine allergy as well. However you can discuss about the previous incidence with your doctor. The doctor can perform a test dose to confirm allergic reaction.

You are unlikely to have allergy to atropine or avil as they do not cause allergy.
