Zed Pam 500 MG Injection 20 ML contains the following components:

• Pralidoxime (500 mg): Pralidoxime is an oxime-class antidote. It reverses the effects of certain poisonings, specifically organophosphates, a group of compounds found in insecticides and nerve gases. It inhibits an enzyme known as acetylcholinesterase. This enzyme usually helps break down acetylcholine, which transmits signals to the nervous system. When this enzyme is inhibited, acetylcholine builds up, which can overstimulate nerves and cause serious health problems. Pralidoxime helps by reactivating acetylcholinesterase. It removes a group of atoms called a phosphoryl group from the enzyme. Once this group is removed, the enzyme can again break down acetylcholine, helping to reverse the toxic effects of the organophosphates.
