About ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML

ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML belongs to a class of drugs known as 'anticholinergics', used to treat bradycardia (decreased heart rate). It restores normal heartbeat during cardiac arrest. It is also used to reduce saliva, mucus, or other secretions in the respiratory tract during surgery. It is further used as an antidote to treat organophosphate insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisonings.

ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML contains Atropine, which belongs to the class of muscarinic antagonists or parasympatholytics. It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine (chemical messenger). As a result, this helps to bring back the blood pressure within the normal range and relaxes the heart. Hence, it treats symptomatic bradycardia and prevents sudden fall in blood pressure.

ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML may cause some common side effects like constipation, bloating, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dry eyes, blurred vision, dry mouth, fast/pounding heartbeat, flushing (sudden warmth, redness, or tingly feeling), confusion, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and thirst. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML or any of its ingredients. Before using ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML , inform your doctor if you have any medical history, including asthma, glaucoma (elevated pressure in the eye), heart rhythm disorder, liver/kidney diseases, enlarged prostate, stomach diseases or myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness). ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML may cause blurred vision, dizziness and drowsiness, hence do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML . This medicine will be prescribed by a doctor for children depending on the child's age and body weight.

FAQs

ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML contains Atropine, which is used to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate). It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine (chemical messenger). As a result, this helps to bring back the blood pressure within the normal range and relaxes the heart.

Dry mouth could be a side-effect of ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML . Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might stimulate saliva and prevent mouth drying.

Atropine may decrease sweating and make you more prone to heat stroke. Hence, it is advised to avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during any physical activity and in hot weather.

Atropine is contraindicated in allergic reactions, urinary difficulties, elevated pressure in the eye (glaucoma), and stomach-related disorders like achalasia of the oesophagus, a blockage in the intestine (paralytic ileus) or acute form of colonic distension (toxic megacolon).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bradycardia: It is referred to as a slower-than-normal heartbeat. A normal person's heart typically beats 60 to 100 times per minute. It beats less frequently than 60 times in bradycardia. When the heart cannot pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body, this condition develops. Breathlessness, angina, fatigue, palpitations, and lightheadedness are some of the symptoms.
