1. Anticholinergic is a group of substances that blocks the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at synapses in the central and the peripheral nervous system, and, in broad terms, neuromuscular junction.
Eg.Atropine (Atropen),belladonna alkaloids,benztropine mesylate(Cogentin),clidinium,cyclopentolate (Cyclogyl),darifenacin (Enablex),dicylomine,fesoterodine (Toviaz).
2. Atropine is a medication used to treat certain types of nerve agent and pesticide poisonings as well as some types of slow heart rate, and to decrease salivaproduction during surgery.It is typically given intravenously or by injection into a muscle.Eye drops are also available which are used to treat uveitis and early amblyopia.The intravenous solution usually begins working within a minute and lasts half an hour to an hour.Large doses may be required to treat some poisonings.
3. Administer oral drug on empty stomach to decrease nausea and vomiting.If drug is given intravenously, administer slowly to avoid severe cholinergic effects.
