Atropine Sulfate Min-I-Jet (UCB Pharma)

What it is used for

Cardiac: In the management of patients with severe bradyardia and bradyarrhythmias to increase the heart rate. Patients with Type I atrioventricular conduction deficits to lessen the degree of atrioventricular heart block. Anaesthesia: Atropine is indicated as an antisialogogue in anaesthetic premedication to reduce or prevent secretions in the respiratory tract. During anaesthesia, atropine may be used to prevent reflex bradycardia and restore cardiac rate and arterial pressure resulting from the increased vagal activity associated with laryngoscopy, tracheal intubation and intra-abdominal manipulation, and for the prevention of the oculo-cardiac reflex during ophthalmic surgery. It may also be used to block muscarinic effects when neostigmine is used to counter the action of muscle relaxants. Anticholinesterase poisoning: Atropine is indicated in the treatment of cardiovascular collapse following poisoning from cholinesterase inhibitors such as the organophosphorus insecticides parathion and malathion, the nerve gases and from mushroom poisoning
