Pyrofit 0.2 Injection 1 ml belongs to the group of medications called 'anticholinergics' indicated in anaesthesia for reduction of airway or gastric secretions, volume and acidity of gastric secretions, and blockade of cardiac inhibitory reflexes during induction of anaesthesia and intubation, intraoperatively to counteract surgically or drug-induced or vagal reflex associated arrhythmias, and for protection against peripheral muscarinic effects of cholinergic agents. It is also used as adjunctive therapy for treating peptic ulcers when an immediate anti-cholinergic effect is desired or oral medication is not feasible. Pyrofit 0.2 Injection 1 ml contains 'Glycopyrrolate', which works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine. Thus, reduces gastric secretions' volume and free acidity and controls excessive pharyngeal, bronchial, and tracheal secretions.
