Canpam Injection is a medication containing Pralidoxime Iodide 500 mg/20 ml, manufactured by American Remedies. It is primarily used as an antidote in cases of organophosphate poisoning. ________________________________________ 🩺 Uses of Canpam Injection Canpam Injection is administered to counteract the toxic effects of organophosphates, which are commonly found in certain pesticides and nerve agents. When these substances inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve function, they lead to an accumulation of acetylcholine, causing overstimulation of muscles and glands. Pralidoxime works by reactivating acetylcholinesterase, thereby alleviating symptoms such as muscle weakness, respiratory distress, and convulsions. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Precautions Before administering Canpam Injection, healthcare providers should assess for: • Allergies to pralidoxime or related compounds. • Kidney or liver impairments, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. • Concurrent use of other medications, to avoid potential drug interactions.
