What is Phenohytro?

Phenohytro is made up of belladonna alkaloids (atropine, hyoscyamine, scopolamine) and phenobarbital.

Phenohytro is a combination medicine used to treat irritable bowel syndrome and ulcers in the intestine.

Phenohytro may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Phenohytro may be habit-forming. Misuse can cause addiction, overdose, or death.

How should I use Phenohytro

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Phenohytro contains phenobarbital, a barbiturate that may be habit-forming. Misuse can cause addiction, overdose, or death. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it. Selling or giving away this medicine is against the law.

Swallow the extended-release tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it.

Measure liquid medicine carefully. Use the dosing syringe provided, or use a medicine dose-measuring device (not a kitchen spoon).

Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse.

This medicine can affect the results of certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using Phenohytro.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep track of your medicine. You should be aware if anyone is using it improperly or without a prescription.

Do not stop using this medicine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using this medicine.
