What is atropine?
Generic Name: atropine
Other Brand Names:
Sal-Tropine, Atreza, Atropine Sulfate
Atropine produces many effects in the body, including relief from spasms of the gastrointestinal
tract (stomach and intestines), the bladder, and the biliary tract. This is helpful in controlling conditions
such as colitis, spastic bladder, diverticulitis, infant colic, renal and biliary colic, peptic ulcer, and
irritable bowel syndrome.
Atropine also reduces the secretions of many organs, thereby helping to control conditions such
as excessive stomach acid production and excessive secretion from the pancreas; to reduce secretions
of the nose, lungs, salivary glands, and stomach before surgery; and to help dry up excessive mucus
production associated with diseases, infections, and allergies.
Atropine is used to treat the rigidity, tremor, excessive salivation, and sweating caused by
Parkinson's disease.
Atropine also has effects on the heart. It is used during surgery to maintain proper heart
function, during emergencies involving the heart, and to treat certain heart disorders.
Atropine is used to control laughing and crying episodes that are caused by brain tumors.
Atropine also has effect on the eyes and is available in an ophthalmic (eye) formulation.
Atropine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
