Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1

Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1 is used during medical and surgical procedures to reduce excessive salivary, pharyngeal, and airway secretions. It helps prevent slow heart rate during surgery and is used as an adjunct treatment for peptic ulcer disease by reducing gastric acid secretion. This injection is also used to reverse muscarinic effects during neuromuscular blockade reversal, manage excessive drooling, control gastrointestinal movement, and may help support smoother surgical and postoperative care.

Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1 should be administered as follows:

• This medicine must only be given by a qualified healthcare professional.

• It can be administered through either intramuscular or intravenous routes.

• For intravenous use, it may be given as a direct push or diluted in compatible solutions.

• The injection site should be cleaned with an antiseptic before administration.

Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1 is administered intravenously or intramuscularly.

Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1 contains glycopyrrolate (0.2 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Muscarinic receptor antagonism: Glycopyrrolate blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors throughout the body, preventing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from activating these receptors.

• Decreased secretions: By blocking specific receptors, this medicine reduces secretions from salivary, sweat, and bronchial glands, helping manage excessive secretions during surgical procedures.

• Reduced gastric acid production: Glycopyrrolate decreases stomach acid production, which aids in the management of peptic ulcer disease.

• Limited central nervous system effects: Due to its chemical structure, glycopyrrolate has minimal ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, resulting in fewer effects on the brain compared to other similar medicines.

• Cardiovascular effects: The medicine can prevent bradycardia (an abnormally slow heart rate) that may occur during surgical procedures or in response to certain medications.

• Store Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1 at room temperature.

• Keep the injection protected from light and excessive heat in its original container.

• Store away from children's reach.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Protect from freezing.

• If you are receiving Pyrolin 0.2mg Injection 1 for peptic ulcer management, consider eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than three large meals to reduce stomach acid production.

• Avoid strenuous physical activity in hot environments while on this medicine, as it reduces sweating and may increase your risk of overheating (heat prostration).
