BENEFITS OF PYROLATE INJECTION
In Treatment of Drooling or excessive salivation
Excessive salivation or drooling of saliva may be caused due to many conditions, even by too much acid secretion in our body. This can cause problems in our social life and also affect our self-esteem adversely. Pyrolate Injection helps dry up these unwanted secretions of excessive saliva and improves the quality of life. It is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse and should not be self-administered.
In Treatment of 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). Pyrolate 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.

HOW PYROLATE INJECTION WORKS
Pyrolate Injection is an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking the activity of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine) in the brain. This helps dry up secretions (saliva, stomach acid etc.) from glands before surgery, increases a low heart rate and reverses the unwanted effects of certain medicines used during surgery (muscle relaxants and anaesthetics). By lowering stomach acid content, it also helps treat peptic ulcers.
