What are the side effects of Belladonna alkaloids with the drug Spopace


I had injections behind both ears of Belladonna to quit smoking and was prescribed Belladonna Alkaloid Tablets with Scopace 0.4 mg to take for 2 weeks afterward, what are the side effects of this medicine, could it cause sexual problems or any other ?...

Bellaspas


Bellaspas was given to me by my doctor to help control night sweats.  Suddenly, this drug is removed from the market with no warning to the public.  I cannot take hormones because of having had cancer.  Any suggestions????

Last year we had several mothns when parenteral lorazepam and midazolam were in very short supply. In our inpatient unit, we continued to use lorazepam prn but when we started scheduled doses, we converted to phenobarbital. I hadn't previously used much phenobarb and I found it quite effective I've continued to use it even though the shortage is resolved.We are not affected by the current issue with parenteral hydromorphone.We find out about shortages from our hospital pharmacy (for the inpatient unit) and from Hospice Pharmacia (for the home hospice program). I'm interested to hear what others are doing.
