Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Atropine injections.
Atropine is a naturally-occurring drug found in deadly nightshade, Jimson weed, and mandrake. It is generally considered to be an anticholinergic or antiparasympathetic drug. It is also termed anti-muscarinic since it antagonizes the muscarine-like actions of acetylcholine and other choline esters. Atropine mainly inhibits smooth muscles and glands. This injection is typically administered by a healthcare professional via a shot into the muscle or vein.
Atropine can also relax the GI tract and decrease activity of the urinary tract. In treatment of Parkinson’s disease, atropine can relieve symptoms of rigidity, tremor, salvation, and sweating. The atropine injection is commonly used in emergency settings for the treatment of bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate.
Side Effects:
As with all pharmaceuticals, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of atropine injections. Always consult a doctor or healthcare professional for medical advice before use.
Common side effects include: blurred vision, constipation, decreased sweating, dry mouth/throat, restlessness, itchiness, and upset stomach.
Seek medical attention if the following develop: allergic reactions, fast heartbeat, fainting, or seizures.
For a comprehensive list of all possible effects, consult your doctor. If any symptom persists or gets worse, or you notice any other symptom, then please call your doctor immediately.
