Homatropine methylbromide or Methylhomatropine bromide is a quaternary ammonium salt of methylhomatropine. It is a peripherally acting anticholinergic medication that inhibits muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and thus the parasympathetic nervous system. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It is used, in addition to papaverine, as component of mild drugs that help "flush" the bile.

Certain preparations of drugs such as hydrocodone are mixed with a small, sub-therapeutic amount homatropine methylbromide to discourage intentional overdose.[1]
