It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse in a hospital setup. It should not be self-administered. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit.

How Tropine Injection works

Tropine 0.6mg Injection is an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking the activity of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine). This helps dry up secretions (saliva, sweat, etc.) from glands before surgery, increases a low heart rate and decreases intestinal contractions (spasms). It also works as an antidote in certain types of poisoning and reverses the side effects of certain muscle relaxing medicines.
