Hyoscyamine??

[lookin4answers]

Had a couple buds at the gym tell me about these pills called Hyoscyamine. Apparently theyre small, round, and have labels H on one side and PAD on the other. One of my friends told me that they were excellent in helping to get cut. He told me that they mostly work on the mid-section and eliminate any fat and water retention to show muscle definition. IDK anything about this pill really. Can anyone tell me something about this please?

[Todd the truth]

Never heard of it but description and class And mechanism of action sounds similar to scopalomine

[lookin4answers]

Since it works by decreasing the motion of the stomach and intestines and the secretion of stomach fluids, including acid. Would it help in the aid of getting the midsection cut? Im thinking this would make you crap alot, am I right?

[Todd the truth]

Just the opposite it will slow down gastric motility and decrease digestion of food, = malnourishment, constipation,

[Bonaparte]

That doesn't sound very useful for our purposes...
