1. What Atropine Injection BP Minijet is and what it
is used for
Your medicine is called Atropine Injection BP
Minijet.
Atropine is an antimuscarinic. It temporarily blocks
some nerve endings. This stops glands secreting,
makes some muscles (such as in the gut) relax and
speeds up the heart.
This medicine is used for:
•
Pre-medication before an anaesthetic to dry the
mouth and throat before surgery
•
During anaesthetic it is used to prevent a slow heart
rate and restore blood pressure.
•
To treat a very slow heart beat
•
To treat a heart attack
•
To treat poisoning from insecticides, nerve gas or
poisonous mushrooms
•
To control the side effects of neostigmine (a
medicine which increases nerve impulses to the
muscles).
•
As part of an emergency procedure to manually
maintain brain function after a heart attack. It is
used to treat a slow heart beat occurring with low
blood pressure, decreased blood flow or an
irregular heart rate.
2. Before or after you are given Atropine Injection BP
Minijet
You should not be given Atropine if you suffer from
any of the following:
•
Reflux

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Acute myocardial infarction with AV conduction block due to excess
vagal tone (Wenkebach Type I, second-degree
AV block) and sinus bradycardia, with associated hypotension and
increased ventricular irritability.
Atropine can also be used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the
treatment of sinus bradycardia accompanied by
hypotension, hypoperfusion or ectopic arrhythmias.
Parenteral atropine is indicated as an antisialogogue in anaesthetic
premedication to prevent or reduce secretions of the
respiratory tract.
During anaesthesia, atropine may be used to prevent reflex bradycardia
and restore cardiac rate and arterial pressure
resulting from increased vagal activity associated with laryngoscopy,
tracheal intubation and intra-abdominal
manipulation. It may also be administered to block muscarinic effects
when neostigmine is used to counteract muscle
relaxants such as tubocurarine.
Parenteral atropine is an antidote for cardiovascular collapse
following overdose of anticholinesterases; in the treatment
of poisoning from organophosphorous insecticides or from chemical
warfare 'nerve'
gases and in the treatment of
mushroom poisoning.
