Comparison of inhaled atropine sulphate and atropine methonitrate

Comparison of inhaled atropine sulphate and atropine methonitrate.

The bronchodilator potencies of inhaled atropine sulphate and atropine methonitrate have been compared either alone or in combination with fenoterol in a group of adult asthmatic patients. A cumulative dose response study showed that 2 mg of atropine sulphate produced near maximum bronchodilatation. A larger dose of 4 mg was used in comparing the potency of this drug with 2 mg of atropine metho...

Atropine Sulphate in Strangulated Hernia

In medical practice atropine sulphate is relied upon to relieve the acute pain caused by spasmodic contractions of involuntary muscle, such as occur in renal and intestinal colic. The acute pain of strangulated hernia is also due?in the majority of cases?to spasm of involuntary muscle of-the strangulated coils of intestine. If the spasm is relieved, reduction of the hernia may be much easier. W...

Atropine Sulphate in a Case of Strangulated Hernia

strangulated hernia. History.?Jabar Sahib, a watchman attached to the tramway workshop, aged about 40, used to get intestinal colic now and then due to constipation of a chronic nature; on these occasions he used to get himself cured for the time being. On the 8th January he got a similar attack and as usual he took an ounce of castor oil with some warm coffee early in the morning next day (9th...

A comparative study of atropine methonitrate, salbutamol, and their combination in airways obstruction.

Dose-response relationships of the cholinergic antagonist, atropine methonitrate, and the beta-adrenergic agonist, salbutamol, were examined by cumulative dose techniques. A wet aerosol, 1.5 mg atropine methonitrate produced a maximum response. The response to 200 microgram of salbutamol from a pressurised aerosol was close to maximum. Secondly, the bronchodilator response of salbutamol microgr...
