Indications of Atrogen 10 ml

Atropine is used to treat non-ulcer dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, bradycardia, organophosphorus poisoning, anesthesia premedication, muscarinic poisoning or overdosage, ophthalmic inflammatory eye diseases, and ocular refraction.

Pharmacology of Atrogen 10 ml

Atropine binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and inhibits them, resulting in a variety of anticholinergic actions. Atropine is an anticholinergic drug that inhibits muscarinic receptors in peripheral tissues such as the heart, intestines, bronchial muscles, iris, and secretory glands. There may be some central stimulation. Atropine decreases heart block caused by vagal activity and eliminates bradycardia. The smooth muscles of the bronchi and intestines relax, and glandular secretions decrease. It also has a cycloplegic and mydriatic impact.
