Medicinal Benefits
Neopam 500mg Injection contains Pralidoxime, a cholinesterase reactivator that belongs to the oxime class of drugs. Pralidoxime is together with another medicine called atropine to treat poisoning caused by organic phosphorus pesticides (such as diazinon, malathion, sarin and parathion). Pralidoxime injection is also used to treat an overdose of medicines (such as neostigmine, ambenonium, and pyridostigmine) that treat myasthenia gravis. It works by reactivating the enzymes (cholinesterase) blocked by many pesticides or medicines. Poisoning with these substances or drugs weakens your muscles, including those that let you breathe. Pralidoxime is used to help you regain muscle strength.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Organophosphorus poisoning occurs after dermal, respiratory, or oral exposure to pesticides or nerve agents. Poisoning can occur after short or long-term exposure. It can cause nerve damage and disrupt hormone production in humans and animals. Organophosphates are also toxic to plants and insects. Agricultural workers and others who handle agricultural chemicals may be at risk, with most exposure occurring in rural areas.
