<!--Adult Indications and Dosage-->
 
<!--FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)-->
|fdaLIADAdult=* Atropine Sulfate Injection, USP, may be given parenterally as a pre-anesthetic medication in surgical patients to reduce salivation and bronchial secretions.
* It may also be used to suppress vagal activity associated with the use of halogenated hydrocarbons during inhalation anesthesia and reflex excitation arising from mechanical stimulation during surgery.
* The antispasmodic action of atropine is useful in [[pylorospasm]] and other spastic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. For ureteral and biliary colic, atropine concomitantly with morphine may be indicated.
* Atropine relaxes the upper GI tract and colon during hypotonic radiography.
* In poisoning by the organic phosphate cholinesterase inhibitors found in certain insecticides and by chemical warfare nerve gases, large doses of atropine relieve the muscarine-like symptoms and some of the central nervous system manifestations. It is also used as an antidote for mushroom poisoning due to muscarine in certain species such as Amanita muscaria.
=====Usual adult dosage=====
* Antimuscarinic
:* Intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous, 400 to 600 μg (0.4 to 0.6 mg) every four to six hours.
* Arrhythmias
:* Intravenous, 400 μg (0.4 mg) to 1 mg every one to two hours as needed, up to a maximum of 2 mg.
* Gastrointestinal radiography
:* Intramuscular, 1 mg.
* Preanesthesia (antisialagogue)
:* Intramuscular, 200 to 600 μg (0.2 to 0.6 mg) one-half to one hour before surgery.
* Cholinergic adjunct (curariform block)
:* Intravenous, 600 μg (0.6 mg) to 1.2 mg administered a few minutes before or concurrently with 500 μg (0.5 mg) to 2 mg of neostigmine methylsulfate, using separate syringes.
* Antidote (to cholinesterase inhibitors)
:* Intravenous, 2 to 4 mg initially, then 2 mg repeated every five to ten minutes until muscarinic symptoms disappear or signs of atropine toxicity appear.
* Antidote (to muscarine in mushroom poisoning)
:*  Intramuscular or intravenous, 1 to 2 mg every hour until respiratory effects subside.
* Antidote (to organophosphate pesticides)
:* Intramuscular or intravenous 1 to 2 mg, repeated in twenty to thirty minutes as soon as cyanosis has cleared. Continue dosage until definite improvement occurs and is maintained, sometimes for two days or more.

<!--Contraindications-->
|contraindications=* Atropine Sulfate is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to this drug.
* Ocular
:* Narrow-angle glaucoma; adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and lens of the eye.
* Cardiovascular
:* [[Tachycardia]]; unstable cardiovascular status in acute hemorrhage.

* GU
:* Obstructive uropathy (e.g., bladder neck obstruction due to prostatic hypertrophy); renal disease.
* Musculoskeletal
:* [[Myasthenia gravis]].
|warnings=* Heat prostration can occur with anticholinergic drug use (fever and heat stroke due to decreased sweating) in the presence of a high environmental temperature.
* [[Diarrhea]] may be an early symptom of incomplete intestinal obstruction, especially in patients with ileostomy or [[colostomy]]. Treatment of [[diarrhea]] with these drugs is inappropriate and possibly harmful.
* Usage in the elderly: Elderly patients may react with excitement, agitation, drowsiness and other untoward manifestations to even small doses of anticholinergic drugs.
* Usage in gastric ulcer may produce a delay in gastric emptying time and may complicate such therapy (antral stasis).
|clinicalTrials=There is limited information regarding <i>Clinical Trial Experience</i> of {{PAGENAME}} in the drug label.
|postmarketing=* GI
:* [[Xerostomia]]; altered taste perception; [[nausea]]; [[vomiting]]; [[dysphagia]]; [[heartburn]], [[constipation]]; [[bloated feeling]]; [[paralytic ileus]]; [[gastroesophageal reflux]].
* GU
:* Urinary hesitancy and retention; [[impotence]].
Ocular: Blurred vision; [[mydriasis]]; [[photophobia]]; [[cycloplegia]]; increased intraocular pressure.
Cardiovascular: [[Palpitations]]; [[bradycardia]] (following low doses of atropine); [[tachycardia]] (after higher doses).
CNS: [[Headache]]; [[flushing]]; [[nervousness]]; [[drowsiness]]; weakness; [[dizziness]]; [[insomnia]]; [[fever]]. Elderly patients may exhibit mental confusion or excitement to even small doses. Large doses may produce CNS stimulation (restlessness,
tremor).
* Dermatologic
:* Hypersensitivity: Severe allergic reactions including [[anaphylaxis]], [[urticaria]] and other dermal
manifestations.
* Other
:* Suppression of lactation; nasal congestion; decreased sweating. Complete [[anhidrosis]] cannot occur because large doses would be required, producing severe side effects from parasympathetic paralysis.

<!--Overdosage-->
|overdose======Symptoms=====
* GI
:* [[Dry mouth]]; [[dysphagia]]; [[vomiting]]; [[nausea]]; [[abdominal distention]].
* CNS
:* Theoretically, a curare-like action may occur, i.e., neuromuscular blockade leading to muscular weakness and paralysis.
CNS stimulation; [[delirium]]; [[drowsiness]]; [[stupor]]; [[fever]]; [[dizziness]]; [[headache]]; restlessness; [[seizures]]; depression; [[tremor]]; [[hallucinations]]; [[ataxia]]; [[coma]]; psychotic behavior; other signs of an acute organic psychosis.

Miscellaneous: [[Leukocytosis]], flushed hot dry skin, rash; respiratory failure.
=====Treatment=====
* Administer supportive and symptomatic therapy as indicated.
[[Physostigmine]] 1 to 3 mg I.V. has been utilized to reverse anticholinergic effects. However, profound [[bradycardia]], [[asystole]] and [[seizures]] may occur. The role of physostigmine is not clear; its use should be avoided if other therapeutic agents are successful in reversing cardiac dysrhythmias. Neostigmine methylsulfate 0.5 to 2 mg I.V., repeated as needed, may be given.
* [[Diazepam]] or short-acting barbiturates may control excitement. * [[Hemodialysis]] is ineffective for atropine poisoning.
* [[Hyperpyrexia]] may be treated with physical cooling measures.
* If [[photophobia]] occurs, the patient may be kept in a dark room.

|mechAction=* Atropine inhibits the muscarinic actions of acetylcholine at postganglionic parasympathetic neuroeffector sites including smooth muscle, secretory glands and CNS sites. Large doses may block nicotinic receptors at the autonomic ganglia and at the neuromuscular junction.
* Specific anticholinergic responses are dose-related. Small doses of atropine inhibit salivary and bronchial secretions and sweating; moderate doses dilate the pupil, inhibit accommodation and increase the heart rate (vagolytic effect); larger doses will decrease motility of the GI and urinary tracts; very large doses will inhibit gastric acid secretion.
|structure=* Atropine rarely occurs as such in any of the plants and has been prepared by synthesis. It is usually employed in the form of atropine sulfate (the sulfate [2:1] monohydrate salt of atropine), which has much greater solubility in water.
* Atropine Sulfate Injection, USP, is a sterile aqueous solution of atropine sulfate. Each mL contains atropine sulfate, 0.1 mg; sodium chloride, 8.8 mg, for isotonicity; citric acid, 0.63 mg, and sodium citrate, 0.29 mg, as buffers. May contain additional citric acid and/or sodium citrate for pH adjustment (3.0-6.5). The air above the liquid in the container has been displaced by nitrogen gas.
