About TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION

TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION belongs to the group of medicines called skeletal muscle relaxants used to reduce and relieve muscle spasms (excessive tension in the muscles) occurring during surgery in intensive care. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.

TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION contains ‘Atracurium’ that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on skeletal muscles. Thus, stop sending a pain signal to the brain, relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and surgery. TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION is used during surgery.  It is also used during general anaesthesia to ease tracheal intubation (a tube into the windpipe) and controlled ventilation.

TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION is given by the healthcare professional during surgery.  In some cases, you may experience tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), temporary hypotension (low blood pressure), wheezing, bronchospasm (asthma-like symptoms), skin flushing, and urticaria (nettle rash).

Before receiving TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION inform your doctor if you have had myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome,  severe electrolyte disorder, asthma-like symptoms (a history of allergy, asthma or bronchospasm), burns and lack of adequate circulatory filling (hypovolaemia), pregnant or breastfeeding mother. Your doctor will prescribe TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION only if the benefits outweigh the risks. TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION is not recommended in neonates (children under the age of one month). TRACRIUM 25MG INJECTION is a cold chain medicine, and so it has to be stored in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius else its efficiency might get lost.
