Hello
As you mentioned that your mother is having GLAUCOMA and she is also having gall bladder stone , for which she is admitted in the hospital for surgery .
She advised to take BUSCOPAN i.e. hyoscine .
This drug HYOSCINE is CONTRAINDICATED for narrow angle glaucoma , if your mother is a patient of narrow angle glaucoma , this drug will not suit .
So consult your doctor and take another drug as pain killer .
Good luck for surgery.
