ATROPINE SULPHATE (HINDUSTAN) INJECTION contains Atropine which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-cholinergic drugs. It is used to restore normal heartbeat during an event of cardiac arrest (heart stops working suddenly). It is often used as a preanesthetic medication to manage the risk of sudden decrease in heartbeat and to reduce saliva secretions during surgical procedures. It can also be used in the poisoning caused due to certain substances like insecticides or mushrooms. It is used in combination with other medicines to reverse the effects of certain muscle relaxants (like vecuronium, rocuronium) given during surgery. It can also reduce the overactivity of certain medicines (muscle relaxants) used in the management of severe muscle disorders like myasthenia gravis.
Atropine is an antimuscarinic agent. It works by blocking the effects of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is responsible for causing contraction of muscles, increase in body secretions, and decrease in heart rate. As a result, it leads to stimulation of muscles, increase in heart rate, and decrease in body secretions.
ATROPINE SULPHATE (HINDUSTAN) INJECTION is not recommended for use in patients suffering from closed-angle glaucoma (increased eye pressure), an enlarged prostate, myasthenia gravis, or any obstruction of gut.
