Atropine is an antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) drug that blocks the actions of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors. It is primarily used to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate), as a premedication for anesthesia to reduce salivation, to reverse cholinergic poisoning (from organophosphates or nerve agents), and to dilate pupils in ophthalmology. Atropine is widely approved and used today in various clinical settings.
Healthy adults after oral administration, single dose.
