Icopin Atropine Sulphate Injection 100 ml

Icopin Atropine Sulphate Injection is used to treat bradycardia (decreased heart rate). It restores normal heartbeat during cardiac arrest. It is also used to reduce saliva, mucus, or other secretions in the respiratory tract during surgery. It is further used as an antidote to treat organophosphate insecticide, nerve gas or mushroom poisonings.

Icopin Atropine Sulphate Injection contains Atropine, which belongs to the class of muscarinic antagonists or parasympatholytics. It works by blocking the activity of acetylcholine (chemical messenger). As a result, this helps to bring back the blood pressure within the normal range and relaxes the heart. Hence, it treats symptomatic bradycardia and prevents sudden falls in blood pressure.
