Atrowok 0.60 MG Injection 1 ML contains atropine (0.6 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Muscarinic receptor blockade: Atropine competitively blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors throughout your body, preventing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from binding to these receptors.

• Heart rate regulation: By blocking the vagal influence on the sinoatrial node (your heart's natural pacemaker), atropine increases heart rate, which helps manage bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rhythm).

• Secretion reduction: It inhibits the production of secretions in various glands, including those in your airways and digestive tract, leading to a drier mouth and respiratory passages.

• Smooth muscle relaxation: Atropine relaxes smooth muscles in various organs, including those in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, and airways.
