Product Introduction
Acris 25mg injection contains atracurium besylate, an active ingredient belonging to the class of muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants act on the nervous system to reduce muscle tension and spasms. This medicine is used in various medical settings, including surgeries, other medical procedures, and intensive care units. It is used specifically during general anaesthesia to facilitate tracheal intubation (insertion of a tube into the windpipe) and to enable controlled ventilation.
Do not use Acris 25mg injection if you are allergic to atracurium besylate or any of its ingredients. Before starting treatment, notify your doctor if you have a neuromuscular disease that affects your muscles or their nervous control, such as myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome. Additionally, inform your doctor if you have a severe electrolyte disorder, widespread cancer (carcinomatosis), or sensitivity to histamine. Mention any history of allergy, asthma, or bronchospasm, as well as any burns or issues related to inadequate circulatory filling (hypovolaemia). This medicine is not recommended for neonates (children under one month old). If necessary, the dose should be significantly reduced for newborns or premature babies.
Uses
To relax muscles during operation in adults and children over one month of age. Used during general anesthesia to facilitate tracheal intubation. To relax the muscles in adults in intensive care.
How it works
Acris 25mg injection blocks the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles. When a nerve signal reaches a muscle, it releases a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which binds to receptors on the muscle cells, leading to muscle contraction. Atracurium works by competitively binding to these acetylcholine receptors, preventing acetylcholine from attaching and causing muscle contraction.
How to Use
Acris 25mg injection will be administered to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. It is usually administered in a vein (intravenous). Your doctor will decide the dose, route of administration, and frequency based on your disease condition and other factors.
