ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML belongs to a class of drugs known as 'anticholinergics', used to treat bradycardia (decreased heart rate). It restores normal heartbeat during cardiac arrest. It is also used to reduce saliva, mucus, or other secretions in the respiratory tract during surgery. It is further used as an antidote to treat organophosphate insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisonings.
ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML contains Atropine, which belongs to the class of muscarinic antagonists or parasympatholytics. It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine (chemical messenger). As a result, this helps to bring back the blood pressure within the normal range and relaxes the heart. Hence, it treats symptomatic bradycardia and prevents sudden fall in blood pressure.
ATROWOK INJECTION 1ML may cause some common side effects like constipation, bloating, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dry eyes, blurred vision, dry mouth, fast/pounding heartbeat, flushing (sudden warmth, redness, or tingly feeling), confusion, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and thirst. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.
