An alkaloid obtained from various plants in the nightshade family. Used medicinally as a sedative hypnotic.<\/p>\n

\n

A colourless thick liquid poisonous alkaloid found in some plants of the nightshade family. It is used especially to prevent motion sickness and as a sedative.<\/p>\n

\n

Anticholinergic drug used to treat nausea and vomiting, to sedate, and in ophthalmic procedures to dilate the pupils. Adverse effects are blurred vision, dry mouth, decreased sweating, and hypersensitivity reactions.<\/p>\n

\n

A drug with many uses and often used as an eye drop to dilate (enlarge) the pupil. Scopolamine (Isopto Hyoscine) is used to dilate the pupil before eye examinations and before and after eye surgery and to treat eye conditions such as uveitis. It is also used to prevent motion sickness. Scopolamine is also used preoperatively to help produce amnesia and to decrease lung secretions.<\/p>\n

\n

An alkaloid used alongside morphine to induce what is commonly referred to as “twilight sleep.” This substance is also classified among the so-called “truth drugs” because it has the effect of making a person drowsy and more likely to divulge their innermost thoughts. Consequently, when questioned, it is claimed that individuals tend to tell the truth while under its influence. It is also known as hyoscine.<\/p>\n
