| A special plant: Duboisia bush |
 |
 |
|
The active ingredient in Buscopan is extracted from the
leaves of an Australian native tree, known as the Corkwood tree or Duboisia.
Boehringer Ingelheim, the manufacturer of Buscopan, is the world's leading
producer of Duboisia, delivering 90% of the global requirement of the ingredient.
Using sophisticated and environmentally-friendly farming methods, farmers in Australia and South America grow
and harvest the small rainforest trees. The dried leaves are used to create the
high-quality pharmaceutical product.

| Duboisia and the development of
Buscopan® |
|
|
In the search for a safe and effective treatment for stomach pain, Boehringer Ingelheim learnt
from the healing arts of some of the world's oldest cultures. The Aborigines of
Australia used Duboisia to relieve stomach pain. In the first half of the 20th
century, Boehringer Ingelheim began work on developing a safe, medication that
could reduce stomach pain. By 1951, the new medication was ready for commercial
production and Buscopan was launched. Today, with more than half a century of
proven expertise in safe antispasmodic effectiveness, Buscopan is one of the
world's leading and most trusted treatments for stomach aches, cramps and discomfort.
