General Medicine
Atrocan Injection is a medication containing Atropine Sulphate (0.6 mg), manufactured by American Remedies Ltd. It is primarily used in medical settings for various purposes:
🩺 Uses of Atrocan Injection
1. Treatment of Bradycardia: Atrocan is administered to manage bradycardia (slow heart rate), helping to restore normal heart rhythm during cardiac arrest situations.
2. Preoperative Medication: It is used before general anesthesia to reduce salivation and mucus secretions in the respiratory tract, facilitating smoother surgical procedures.
3. Antidote for Poisoning: Atrocan serves as an antidote for poisoning caused by organophosphate insecticides, nerve agents, or certain types of mushrooms.
4. Reversal of Muscle Relaxant Effects: In combination with other medications, Atrocan is used to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants during surgeries.
💊 Mechanism of Action
Atropine, the active ingredient in Atrocan, is a muscarinic antagonist. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, on muscarinic receptors. This leads to increased heart rate, reduced salivation, and decreased bronchial secretions.
⚠️ Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
• Dry mouth
• Blurred vision
• Increased heart rate
• Flushing
• Dizziness or confusion
• Nausea or vomiting
These side effects are generally mild and transient. If they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

• Have a history of allergies to atropine or other anticholinergic medications.
• Suffer from glaucoma, urinary retention, or gastrointestinal disorders.
• Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
