Description

Atropine Sulfate PFS 0.1 mg/mL 10 mL is a sterile, pre-filled syringe containing atropine sulfate, a potent anticholinergic medication used in various medical settings. Atropine sulfate is commonly employed to manage bradycardia (slow heart rate), reduce salivation during surgical procedures, and counteract the effects of organophosphate poisoning.

The pre-filled syringe design ensures sterility and convenience, reducing preparation time and minimizing the risk of contamination. This ready-to-use formulation is crucial in emergency situations where rapid intervention is necessary. Atropine sulfate acts by blocking the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors, leading to increased heart rate, reduced gastrointestinal motility, and decreased secretion from glands.

In clinical practice, atropine sulfate is administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the specific medical scenario. The dosage is carefully tailored to the patient’s condition and response. The pre-filled syringe provides a standardized, reliable dose, ensuring consistency and accuracy in administration.

Potential side effects of atropine sulfate include dry mouth, blurred vision, tachycardia, and urinary retention. Contraindications include known hypersensitivity to atropine or other anticholinergic agents, and caution is advised in patients with glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, or gastrointestinal obstructions.
