INTRODUCTION ABOUT REOPIN INJECTION
REOPIN INJECTION contains Atropine which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-cholinergic drugs. It is used to restore normal heartbeat during an event of cardiac arrest (heart stops working suddenly). It is often used as a preanesthetic medication to manage the risk of sudden decrease in heartbeat and to reduce saliva secretions during surgical procedures. It can also be used in the poisoning caused due to certain substances like insecticides or mushrooms. It is used in combination with other medicines to reverse the effects of certain muscle relaxants (like vecuronium, rocuronium) given during surgery. It can also reduce the overactivity of certain medicines (muscle relaxants) used in the treatment of severe muscle disorders like myasthenia gravis.
Atropine is an antimuscarinic agent. It works by blocking the effects of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is responsible for causing contraction of muscles, increase in body secretions, and decrease in heart rate. As a result, it leads to stimulation of muscles, increase in heart rate, and decrease in body secretions.
REOPIN INJECTION is not recommended for use in patients suffering from closed-angle glaucoma (increased eye pressure), an enlarged prostate, myasthenia gravis, or any obstruction of gut. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor for advice before receiving REOPIN INJECTION. The most common side effects of REOPIN INJECTION are dry mouth, reduced sweating, blurred vision, constipation, increased heart rate and confusion. Consult your doctor if any of the symptom worsens.
USES OF REOPIN INJECTION
- To restore normal heartbeat during emergency conditions like cardiac arrest
- As a preanesthetic medication to reduce salivary secretions
- To reverse the effect of muscle relaxants given during surgery
- To reduce the overactivity of certain medicines used to manage severe muscle disorders like myasthenia gravis
- As an antidote for insecticides and mushroom poisoning
HOW REOPIN INJECTION WORKS
REOPIN INJECTION is an antimuscarinic agent. It effectively restores cardiac activity and body function by blocking the effects of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine in the body which is responsible for various physiological functions (such as contraction of skeletal or smooth muscles, increase in body secretions or bowel movements, and decrease in heart rate). As a result, REOPIN INJECTION stimulates skeletal muscles, increases heart rate and reduces body secretions (such saliva, sweat, bronchial and intestinal secretion) and bowel movements. This helps in restoring cardiac activity during fatal conditions like cardiac arrest or poisoning, reduces salivary secretion during surgical procedures and stimulates muscle movements by counteracting the effects of muscle relaxants.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
REOPIN INJECTION will be given to you only by a doctor or a nurse either into the vein (intravenously), muscle (intramuscularly), under the skin (subcutaneously) or into the trachea (via endotracheal tube).
