About Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj

Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj belongs to the group of medicines called skeletal muscle relaxants used to reduce and relieve muscle spasms (excessive tension in the muscles) occurring during surgery in intensive care. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.

Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj contains ‘Atracurium’ that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on skeletal muscles. Thus, stop sending a pain signal to the brain, relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and surgery. Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj is used during surgery.  It is also used during general anaesthesia to ease tracheal intubation (a tube into the windpipe) and controlled ventilation.

Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj is given by the healthcare professional during surgery.  In some cases, you may experience tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), temporary hypotension (low blood pressure), wheezing, bronchospasm (asthma-like symptoms), skin flushing, and urticaria (nettle rash). Most of these side effects of Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Before receiving Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj inform your doctor if you have had myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome,  severe electrolyte disorder, asthma-like symptoms (a history of allergy, asthma or bronchospasm), burns and lack of adequate circulatory filling (hypovolaemia), pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Your doctor will prescribe Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj is not recommended in neonates (children under the age of one month). Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj is a cold chain medicine, and so it has to be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius else its efficiency might get lost. Do not store in the freezer or the fridge.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Muscle spasm (contraction): It is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints. Muscle relaxants can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help in inhibiting painful contractions. Muscle weakness is common in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU). Surgical procedures can affect the respiratory muscles through many mechanisms, including thoracoabdominal mechanics (affecting the thorax and the abdomen), reflexes, neuromechanical coupling, and loss of muscular integrity. Impairment of respiratory muscle function after surgery may lead to postoperative complications such as hypoventilation (a state in which a reduced amount of air enters the lungs), hypoxia (an absence of enough oxygen in the tissues), atelectasis (Complete or partial collapse of a lung), and infections, some of which may be life-threatening.
