Description

Mechanism of Action
Atropine is an anticholinergic agent which competitively blocks the muscarinic receptors in peripheral tissues such as the heart, intestines, bronchial muscles, iris and secretory glands. Some central stimulation may occur. Atropine abolishes bradycardia and reduces heart block due to vagal activity. Smooth muscles in the bronchi and gut are relaxed while glandular secretions are reduced. It also has mydriatic and cycloplegic effect.

Distribution: Distributes throughout the body and crosses the blood-brain barrier and placenta.
Metabolism: Incomplete metabolism in the liver.
Excretion: Excreted in urine as unchanged drug and metabolites. Half-life reported to be 4 hr.
