LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML is used to reduce secretions from the mouth, throat, or stomach (such as saliva or stomach acid), to avoid cardiac rhythm issues during anesthesia, intubation, or surgery, or to minimize side effects from specific medications (such as pyridostigmine and neostigmine).

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML contains 'Glycopyrrolate', which works by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine. Thus, reduces gastric secretions' volume and free acidity and controls excessive pharyngeal, bronchial, and tracheal secretions.

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML may cause dry mouth, urinary retention and hesitancy, blurred vision, palpitations, and decreased sweating. Most of these side effects of LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any components in LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML may cause drowsiness and blurred vision, do not drive or operate machinery unless you are alert. Let your doctor know if you are taking prescription and non-prescription medications, including vitamins and herbal supplements.

LICOLATE INJECTION 1ML is used to treat various medical conditions. The detailed uses are as follows:

• Reduction of preoperative secretions: It decreases saliva, tracheobronchial, and pharyngeal secretions to help maintain a clear airway during surgery.
• Prevention and treatment of intraoperative bradycardia: It helps manage a slow heart rate during anaesthesia or surgical procedures.
• Adjunct to anaesthesia: It minimises airway secretions and suppresses certain reflexes during anaesthesia, improving surgical safety and patient comfort.

• Helps block cardiac inhibitory reflexes during induction of anaesthesia and intubation.
• Used during surgery to manage arrhythmias caused by surgery, drugs, or vagal reflexes.
• Protects against peripheral muscarinic effects of cholinergic agents.
• Also used as adjunct therapy for treating peptic ulcers when an immediate anticholinergic effect is needed or when oral medication is not possible.
