Homatropine methyl bromide

Homatropine methyl bromide is a separate entity. It is a quaternary ammonium salt, does not cross blood-brain barrier, has no central effect and has different indication from homatropine hydrobromide, the teriary compound. The drugbox links to the wrong picture namely the homatropine methylbromide, not the hydrobromide which is named in the drugbox. The quaternary compound needs a separate entry in Wikipedia. The situation is like with scopolamine butylbromide alias butylscopolamine bromide (Buscopan) which is also completely separate entity from scopolamine, has no central action and has different indications than scopolamine. This needs to be fixed. 70.137.149.219 (talk) 01:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately there is a mixup even in the chemical database entries between tertiary homatropine hydrobromide and the quaternary compound homatropinem methylbromide or methylhomatropinium bromide. They talk once of the tertiary compound, once of the quaternary compound and mix them up. Obviously high school diploma isn't was it once was! 70.137.149.219 (talk) 02:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Old Homatropine methylbromide info now moved to Methylhomatropine bromide in a separate entry. 70.137.149.219 (talk) 03:33, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
