About Aldopam 500Mg Injection

Aldopam 500Mg Injection belongs to the oximes family of compounds. It is used as an antidote that battles poisoning caused by organophosphates, mostly found in pesticides.

The most important function of Aldopam 500Mg Injection is to activate and release cholinesterase, usually near the Central Nervous System, and thus regenerating the functional enzyme that has been blocked by phosphorylation. This kind of poisoning is mostly caused by an organophosphate pesticide, or any other related compounds. The chemical reactions act as a counteragent for certain organophosphates, and turn them to a non-reacting form.

The Aldopam 500Mg Injection is an effectual drug in relieving critically affected paralysis of the respiratory muscles. It is also a remedy for other various intramuscular disorders, bronchospasm, and excessive salivation. The drug is mostly injected into an intramuscular site causing mild pain in the injected region.

The Aldopam 500Mg Injection may also have certain adverse side effects such as blurred vision, dizziness , drowsiness, high blood pressure, weakness of joints and muscles, hyperventilation, nausea and vomiting. However in case the symptoms persist or turn severe, it is wise to immediately consult a medical expert rather than discontinuing the drug dose without proper advice.

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should preferably not be subjected to this drug.

    How does this medication work?

    This medication is used during organophosphate poisoning. Organophosphates like sarin block the activity of acetylcholinesterase enzyme by binding to the hydroxy component of the active site. It binds to the remaining half and removes the phosphate from the remnants of serine, thereby allowing re-activation of the enzyme.
