Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML

Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML has several uses, such as:

• Facilitating endotracheal intubation during medical procedures

• Providing skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery

• Assisting in mechanical ventilation by relaxing the muscles

• Keeping the airway open to ease breathing under general anaesthesia

Here's how to administer Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML:

• Ensure this injection is only given by healthcare professionals who are familiar with its actions, characteristics, and potential risks.

• The neuromuscular function must be checked carefully using a peripheral nerve stimulator to assess the level of muscle relaxation.

• Contact your doctor for specific advice on proper administration.

• Always examine the injection for any particulate matter or discolouration before use.

Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML is administered intravenously.

Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML contains Atracurium (50 mg) and acts on the body in the following ways:

• Competitive Antagonist of Acetylcholine: Atracurium works by acting as a competitive antagonist at cholinergic receptor sites on the motor endplate. This means it competes with acetylcholine, a chemical that stimulates muscle contractions, thus preventing muscle contractions and causing muscle relaxation.

• Reversibility with Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors like neostigmine, edrophonium and pyridostigmine can reverse the neuromuscular blockade caused by Atracurium. This means these inhibitors can stop the action of Atracurium, reversing its effect and allowing muscle contractions to return to normal.

• Keep Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML refrigerated at a temperature between 2°C to 8°C.

• Shield the product from light exposure.

• Ensure it's stowed away safely where children cannot access it.

• Always check the expiry date and use it before that.

• As Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML is administered during surgery or intubation, maintain a balanced diet post-procedure to aid recovery. Include protein-rich foods for tissue repair and healing.

• Stay well-hydrated before and after your procedure. This helps avoid dehydration which may affect how your body responds to medicines like Artacil 25 MG Injection 2.5 ML.
