Product Overview:
Atropine Sulfate 0.1mg/mL Prefilled Syringe is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution intended for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous administration. Atropine sulfate is a potent anticholinergic agent used to treat various conditions, including bradycardia (slow heart rate), pre-anesthetic medication to reduce salivation, and antidote for organophosphate poisoning.
Key Features:
- Potency and Concentration:
- Each 1mL vial contains 0.4mg of atropine sulfate, providing a precise dose for clinical use. This concentration is effective for rapid treatment of conditions requiring anticholinergic intervention.
Rapid Onset of Action:
- Atropine sulfate works quickly to increase heart rate in bradycardic patients, making it vital in emergency and critical care settings. It also rapidly reduces secretions, making it useful as a pre-anesthetic agent.
Antidote for Poisoning:
- Atropine sulfate is an essential antidote for organophosphate or carbamate poisoning, which can result from exposure to certain pesticides or chemical warfare agents. It counteracts the effects of excessive acetylcholine in the nervous system.
Sterile and Single-Dose:
- Packaged in a sterile single-dose vial, this formulation ensures safety and efficacy while minimizing the risk of contamination. The single-dose format is convenient for emergency use.
Indications: Atropine Sulfate 0.1mg/mL Prefilled Syringe is indicated for:
- Treatment of bradycardia and asystole during cardiac emergencies.
- Pre-anesthetic to reduce salivation and respiratory secretions.
- Antidote for organophosphate and carbamate poisoning.
- Adjunct treatment in certain cases of poisoning by mushroom species that cause muscarinic symptoms.
Contraindications and Precautions:
- Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to atropine sulfate or any component of the formulation. It should be used cautiously in patients with glaucoma, pyloric stenosis, prostatic hypertrophy, or other obstructive uropathy.
