Phenapine Inj Uses
This medication is used before surgery to help decrease the amount of saliva you produce. Decreasing your saliva before surgery can help to reduce the risk of getting saliva into your lungs, which may cause a lung infection (pneumonia). It also has some helpful effect on maintaining your blood pressure and heart rate during surgery. Atropine belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. It works by decreasing the effects of a natural substance (acetylcholine) in the body.
Atropine is also used to restore a normal heart rate in patients with slow heartbeat. It is also used as an antidote in certain poisonings (e.g., insecticides, nerve gases).
