Anticholinergic agent that counteracts effects of parasympathetic stimulation.<\/p>\n
An alkaloid obtained from atropa belladonna inhibits the action of the craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system.<\/p>\n
An alkaloid substance derived from the poisonous plant belladonna and used, among other things, to enlarge the pupil of the eye, to reduce salivary and bronchial secretions during anaesthesia and as a muscarinic antagonist.<\/p>\n
Antispasmodic drug commonly obtained from belladonna and related plants and used in various forms to calm gastrointestinal motility, treat certain abnormalities of the heart rhythm, and dilate the pupil of the eye. In an inhaled form, atropine has been used to treat asthma and emphysema.<\/p>\n
A drug used to relax muscles by inhibiting nerve responses. Atropine is given by injection, as eye drops, or in oral form. It is used in emergency cardiac situations to speed up the heart rate.<\/p>\n
A drug extracted from deadly nightshade that inhibits the action of certain nerves of the autonomic nervous system. Atropine relaxes smooth muscle and is used to treat biliary colic and renal colic. It also reduces secretions of the bronchial tubes, salivary glands, stomach, and intestines and is used before general anesthesia and to relieve peptic ulcers. It is also used to dilate the pupil of the eye. Atropine is administered by mouth, injection, or as eyedrops; common side-effects include dryness of the throat, thirst, and impaired vision.<\/p>\n
Atropine is the active principle of belladonna, the juice of the deadly nightshade. It acts by antagonising the action of the parasympathetic nervous system, temporarily impairing vision by paralysing accommodative power and inhibiting the action of some of the nerves in the autonomic nervous system. The drug relaxes smooth muscle, and has the effect of checking the activity of almost all the glands of the body, including the sweat glands of the skin and the salivary glands in the mouth. Atropine relieves spasm by paralysing nerves in the muscle of the intestine, bile ducts, bladder, stomach, etc. It has the power, in moderate doses, of markedly increasing the rate of the heartbeat, though by very large doses the heart, along with all other muscles, is paralysed and stopped.<\/p>\n
A toxic alkaloid derived from belladonna or similar plants, utilized in medicine to dilate the pupils of the eyes and alleviate spasms.<\/p>\n
Atropine is an anticholinergic medication derived from the deadly-nightshade plant. It is employed for dilating the pupil in various eye conditions, including iritis (inflammation of the iris) and corneal ulcer. Additionally, in young children, atropine is administered in the form of eye drops to widen the pupil for examination purposes. This medication acts to relax the muscles of the iris, enabling the pupil to expand and facilitating thorough examination of the eye.<\/p>\n
Atropine, typically administered by injection, was previously employed as a premedication before general anesthesia to diminish lung secretions. However, its usage for this purpose has become infrequent in modern practice. Presently, atropine is primarily utilized as an emergency treatment for bradycardia, which refers to an abnormally slow heartbeat. Furthermore, it is occasionally prescribed for its anticholinergic effects. In some cases, atropine is combined with an antidiarrheal medication to alleviate abdominal cramps accompanying diarrhea.<\/p>\n
Atropine is associated with several side effects, including dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, and, particularly in the elderly population, confusion. In the case of atropine eye drops, their administration to adults is infrequent due to their potential to disrupt vision for a duration of two to three weeks. Moreover, these eye drops can precipitate acute glaucoma in individuals who are susceptible to this condition. Consequently, caution is exercised when considering the use of atropine eye drops in adult patients.<\/p>\n
An alkaloid originating from hyoscyamine, which is the active component in Atropa belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade. It inhibits the sympathetic nervous system, reduces bodily secretions, and serves as an antispasmodic agent. It’s employed to widen the eye’s pupil, decrease stomach acid, dry up sweat and chest mucus, as well as halt colic symptoms. When applied topically, it has no effect, making belladonna plasters entirely ineffective.<\/p>\n
