Product DescriptionAtropine Sulfate Injection 0.4 mg/mL by American Regent is an important antimuscarinic drug that is used to treat slow heart rate, lower mucus production during surgery, and keep people from getting organophosphate poisoning or cholinergic toxicity. It should be used right away to save a life. You can give this sterile solution containing benzyl alcohol through an IV, an IM, or a SC through the skin. This method gives doctors more options in emergency and post-operative situations. As a competitive antagonist of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors, atropine reverses too much vagal tone, speeds up the heart rate, and dries out mucus to make managing the airways easier. Ideal for emergency departments, ICUs, and surgical units, this vial is a staple in resuscitation protocols and toxicology emergencies.
