A prospective real-world study in Germany evaluated the effectiveness of Hyoscine butylbromide (HBB) 10 mg plus 500 mg paracetamol for treating menstrual pain in adult women. Results indicated significant reductions in pain intensity within 30 minutes, with 91% of patients experiencing meaningful relief in four hours. The study involved 972 women, primarily suffering from moderate to severe dysmenorrhea. While the treatment was safe and well-received, it faced limitations due to its observational nature and reliance on self-reported data.
