Homatropine methylbromide
Homatropine methylbromide (INN; also known as 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 to effectively relieve intestinal spasms and abdominal cramps, without producing the adverse effects of less specific anticholinergics.[1] It is used, in addition to papaverine, as a component of mild drugs that help "flush" the bile.

gollark: Maybe.
gollark: So now I'm actually wondering if this was a botnet programmed by edgy teenagers, or something.
gollark: I downloaded one of *those* to look at, and ran `strings` on it, and as well as what look like HTTP requests (presumably trying to exploit other devices), there are sets of strings like these:
gollark: I looked at the `.sh` file there, and it appears to just be trying to download and execute a bunch of binaries for different architectures.
