Atropine Sulfate Injections

Atropine sulfate injections are used to treat several medical conditions by acting as a competitive antagonist to the parasympathetic nervous system. They are commonly administered to increase heart rate in cases of bradycardia (slow heart rate) and as a pre-anesthetic to reduce salivation and respiratory secretions during surgery. Additionally, atropine can counteract the effects of pesticides or nerve agents as it acts as an antidote for certain types of poisoning. It is also used in ophthalmology to dilate pupils for eye examinations. Quick intervention with atropine is crucial in emergency settings.
