description Product Description
Atropine sulfate monohydrate is widely used in medical settings as an anticholinergic agent. It is commonly administered to treat bradycardia, a condition characterized by an abnormally slow heart rate, by blocking the action of the vagus nerve on the heart. This helps to increase the heart rate and improve cardiac output. Additionally, it is used as a preoperative medication to reduce salivary and respiratory secretions, which helps to maintain a clear airway during surgery. In ophthalmology, it is applied as eye drops to dilate the pupil and temporarily paralyze the eye's focusing mechanism, aiding in eye examinations and certain treatments. It also serves as an antidote for poisoning caused by organophosphate insecticides and nerve agents, as it counteracts the effects of excessive acetylcholine activity. Furthermore, it is utilized in the management of gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulcers by reducing spasms and acid secretion.
