Neostig N 2.5mg Injection

Neostig N 2.5mg Injection contains Neostigmine 2.5mg, an anticholinesterase medicine. Made by Goodman International, it is prescribed for reversal of muscle relaxants after surgery, myasthenia gravis and post-operative urinary retention. Pack size: 10 injections.

Uses of Neostig N 2.5mg Injection

Neostig N 2.5mg Injection is mainly used by anaesthetists at the end of surgery to reverse the effects of certain muscle relaxants, so that normal breathing and muscle strength return. It is also used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis, a condition causing muscle weakness, and occasionally to help the bladder or bowel work again after an operation.

How Neostig N 2.5mg Injection works

Neostigmine blocks cholinesterase, the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine. With more acetylcholine available at the junction between nerves and muscles, signals pass more effectively and muscle strength improves. It also increases activity in the bowel and bladder.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Neostig N 2.5mg Injection mostly come from increased nerve signalling in the body and can include:

• Increased saliva
• Sweating
• Stomach cramps
• Nausea or diarrhoea
• Slow heart rate

Get urgent medical help for a very slow heartbeat, fainting, wheezing or breathing difficulty, severe muscle weakness or twitching, or signs of an allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• When used in surgery, it is given in hospital by trained staff.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, a slow heart rate or heart disease, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease or a stomach ulcer.
• It should not be used if there is a blockage in the bowel or urinary tract.
• People with myasthenia gravis should report any change in muscle strength, as both too little and too much medicine can cause weakness.
• Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store as directed on the pack, protected from light. Injections should only be prepared and given by a doctor, nurse or other trained healthcare professional. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
