Arium 25 mg Injection belongs to the group of medicines called skeletal muscle relaxants used to reduce and relieve muscle spasms (excessive tension in the muscles) occurring during surgery in intensive care. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.
Arium 25 mg Injection contains ‘Atracurium’ that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on skeletal muscles. Thus, stop sending a pain signal to the brain, relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and surgery. Arium 25 mg Injection is used during surgery. It is also used during general anaesthesia to ease tracheal intubation (a tube into the windpipe) and controlled ventilation.
Arium 25 mg Injection is given by the healthcare professional during surgery. In some cases, you may experience tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), temporary hypotension (low blood pressure), wheezing, bronchospasm (asthma-like symptoms), skin flushing, and urticaria (nettle rash). Most of these side effects of Arium 25 mg Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Before receiving Arium 25 mg Injection inform your doctor if you have had myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome, severe electrolyte disorder, asthma-like symptoms (a history of allergy, asthma or bronchospasm), burns and lack of adequate circulatory filling (hypovolaemia), pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Your doctor will prescribe Arium 25 mg Injection only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Arium 25 mg Injection is not recommended in neonates (children under the age of one month). Arium 25 mg Injection is a cold chain medicine, and so it has to be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius else its efficiency might get lost. Do not store in the freezer or the fridge.
