WHAT NOVISTIG IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Novistig contains two active ingredients:
-
Neostigmine metilsulfate which belongs to a group of medicines called
cholinesterase inhibitors. It has
the effect of reversing the action of certain muscle-relaxing drugs
-
Glycopyrronium bromide which belongs to a group of medicines called
anticholinergic drugs. Its
purpose is to block some of the unwanted effects that may occur with
neostigmine metilsulfate such as
slowing the heart rate or excess production of saliva.
Glycopyrronium bromide and neostigmine metilsulfate Injection is used
at the end of an operation to reverse
the effects of some of the drugs used during surgery such as
anaesthetics and muscle relaxants.
