What is Atropine Sulfate Drug Overview about?
Atropine sulfate is an anticholinergic drug used to reduce respiratory secretions during anesthesia. It works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the parasympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate. Common adverse effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, tachycardia, and confusion. Nurses should monitor patients for paradoxical bradycardia after low doses and be aware atropine can cause tachycardia in cardiac patients.
