About Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj
Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj 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.
Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj 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. Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj is used during surgery. It is also used during general anaesthesia to ease tracheal intubation (a tube into the windpipe) and controlled ventilation.
Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj 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).

Uses of Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj
Medicinal Benefits
Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj belongs to the group of medicines called muscle relaxants used to reduce and relieve muscle contraction (excessive tension in the muscles) during surgery, other procedures, and in intensive care. It is also used to calm muscles while on a breathing machine, during general anaesthesia to ease tracheal intubation (a tube into the windpipe), and controlled ventilation. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on skeletal muscles. Also, stop sending a pain signal to the brain, relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and surgery. An experienced doctor must give Atrapure 100Mg/10Ml Inj under carefully controlled conditions. It is used during procedures that require that the patient is fully anaesthetized (unconscious) or heavily sedated.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Muscle spasm (contraction): It 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. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints. Muscle relaxants can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help in inhibiting painful contractions. Muscle weakness is common in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU). Surgical procedures can affect the respiratory muscles through many mechanisms, including thoracoabdominal mechanics (affecting the thorax and the abdomen), reflexes, neuromechanical coupling, and loss of muscular integrity. Impairment of respiratory muscle function after surgery may lead to postoperative complications such as hypoventilation (a state in which a reduced amount of air enters the lungs), hypoxia (an absence of enough oxygen in the tissues), atelectasis (Complete or partial collapse of a lung), and infections, some of which may be life-threatening.
