atropine - Medications

Each prefilled ATROPEN single-dose autoinjector provides an intramuscular dose of atropine, a cholinergic muscarinic antagonist in a self-contained unit, designed for self- or caregiver-administration. When activated, the ATROPEN 0.25 mg autoinjector delivers 0.21 mg atropine base (equivalent to 0.25 mg atropine sulfate) in 0.3 mL of sterile pyrogen-free solution containing citrate buffer, sodium chloride, and Water for Injection. The pH range is 4.0 to 5.0. When activated, the ATROPEN 0.5 mg autoinjector delivers 0.42 mg atropine base (equivalent to 0.5 mg atropine sulfate), the ATROPEN 1 mg autoinjector delivers 0.84 mg atropine base (equivalent to 1 mg atropine sulfate), and the ATROPEN 2 mg autoinjector delivers 1.67 mg atropine base (equivalent to 2 mg atropine sulfate). Each 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 2 mg ATROPEN autoinjector delivers atropine in 0.7 mL of sterile pyrogen-free solution containing 12.5 mg glycerin, 2.8 mg phenol, citrate buffer, and Water for Injection. The pH range is 4.0 to 5.0. Atropine occurs as white crystals, usually needle-like, or as a white, crystalline powder. It is slightly soluble in water with a molecular weight of 289.38. Atropine, a naturally occurring belladonna alkaloid, is a racemic mixture of equal parts of d- and l-hyoscyamine, with activity due almost entirely to the levo isomer of the drug. Chemically, atropine is designated as 1 αH ,5 αH -Tropan-3α-ol (±) tropate (ester). Its empirical formula is C 17 H 23 NO 3 and its structural formula is as follows: Structural Formula
