Lycolate 0.2mg Injection


Product introduction

Lycolate 0.2mg Injection is an anticholinergic medication. It is used before or even during an operation to reduce secretions and it even reverses the unwanted effects of certain medicines used during surgery (muscle relaxants).

Lycolate 0.2mg Injection is used to protect against the unwanted effects of some muscle relaxing drugs, before a surgery to reduce saliva secretion and prevent or reduce slow heart beats during surgery

Uses of Lycolate Injection

Benefits of Lycolate Injection

In General Anaesthesia

Lycolate 0.2mg Injection is used before and during surgery to reduce secretions of the mouth, throat, or stomach, such as saliva, stomach acid, or to prevent problems related to heart rhythm during anesthesia, intubation, or surgery. It also helps decrease the unwanted effects that may be caused by certain medicines like, neostigmine, pyridostigmine, etc. It is given by a specialist doctor called an anesthetist in a hospital setup.

In Peptic ulcer disease

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Lycolate 0.2mg Injection reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer.
