ATROPINE ; A VERY FAMILIAR ?STRANGER!

ATROPINE ; A VERY FAMILIAR ?STRANGER!

💧Atropine produces complete vagal block at a dose of 3 mg; 

💧should be avoided in pyrexial children, as it inhibits sweating ; 

💧delirium is another side-effect ; 

💧patients with Downs syndrome may show resistance to atropine; 

💧parenteral atropine wont cause significant pupillary dilatation and so is not contraindicated in glaucoma.
