What is Atropine?
Active Ingredients: Atropine Sulfate
Atropine Injection is a drug used before anesthesia to decrease saliva and other mucus secretions. It is also used as an emergency treatment for bradycardia, nerve gas poisoning, and mushroom poisoning. In the treatment of Parkinson's disease, atropine can relieve symptoms of rigidity, tremor, salvation, and sweating.
Atropine is a naturally occurring substance found in deadly nightshade, Jimson weed, and mandrake. It is generally considered to be an anticholinergic or anti-parasympathetic drug. Atropine also displays antimuscarinic properties. This drug works by inhibiting smooth muscles and glands, and it also relaxes the GI tract and decreases the activity of the urinary tract.
