Background

ATROPISA® VET Anticholinergic

FORMULA

Each 100 mL contains:
Atropine sulfate 0.5 mg
Excipient q.s. 1 mL

INDICATIONS

ATROPISA® VET is indicated as an antispasmodic when there is hypermotility of the gastrointestinal tract, hypertonicity of the urinary
bladder, and in parasympathetic overstimulation of the bronchi.
It can also reduce bronchospasm.
It is useful to keep the respiratory tract clear before and after anesthesiadue to its antisecretory effect.
It can also be used in the treatment of peptic ulcers, as it reduces secretions and gastric motility, thereby slowing the emptying of gastric contents.
To counteract the effects of agents that inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase such as organophosphates and neostigmine.
