HYOSCINE
Alkaloid obtained from HYOSCYAMUS NIGER, Lin. Identified by some with Scopolamine, cbtained from Scopola atropoides, which is at least isomeric with it. and is now almost universally substituted for it as it is in the following preparations. Mydriatic like atropine, but quite different in its medicinal action, which is that of a sedative and hypnotic. Dose, 0.00015 to 0.0012 (1-400 to 1-50 gr.).2

SCOPOLAMINE
Alkaloid obtained from SCOPOLA ATROPOIDEs, haVing the same atomic composition as Hyoscine, q. v. and largely used in place of that alkaloid. The hydrobromide is the salt generally used.2
