Description
Atropine 0.5mg/5mL LFS 10/Bx is a sterile, prefilled syringe containing atropine sulfate, a potent anticholinergic agent. Each syringe delivers 0.5 mg of atropine in 5 mL of solution and is part of the LifeShield* system designed for safe and accurate intravenous administration. The product is supplied in a pack of 10 syringes, making it suitable for emergency and critical care settings.
Atropine works by blocking the effects of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the parasympathetic nervous system. This leads to increased heart rate, reduced secretions, and relaxation of smooth muscles. It is commonly used to treat bradycardia, organophosphate poisoning, and to reduce salivary and bronchial secretions before surgical procedures.
This medication must be administered intravenously by trained healthcare professionals. The dosage is tailored based on the patient’s condition and therapeutic needs. Continuous monitoring of vital signs is critical to assess the effectiveness of treatment and prevent potential complications, such as tachycardia or arrhythmias.
