Product Introduction
Arium 50 mg Injection contains Atracurium Besylate, which belongs to a group of medicines called muscle relaxants. It is used to relax muscles during surgeries, other medical procedures, and in intensive care units (ICUs). During general anesthesia, it helps with tracheal intubation (placing a tube into the windpipe) and allows controlled ventilation.
Do not use Arium 50 mg Injection if you are allergic to Atracurium Besylate or any of the ingredients in this medicine. Before treatment, inform your doctor if you have a neuromuscular disease such as myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome, a severe electrolyte disorder, carcinomatosis, or histamine sensitivity. Also tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy, asthma, bronchospasm, burns, or hypovolemia.
This medicine is generally not recommended for neonates (babies younger than one month). If its use is necessary in newborn or premature babies, a significantly lower dose may be required. For any questions or concerns about this medicine, consult your doctor.
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
Arium 50mg 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
Arium 50mg 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.
