Does atropine block only nicotinic receptors?
Atropine does not only block nicotinic receptors but also acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors
Is atropine obtained from plants?
Yes, atropine is obtained from plants such as Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna) and Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). These plants contain alkaloids that are extracted to produce atropine, which is commonly used as a medication to treat a variety of conditions.
Is atropine an antidote for cyanide?
No, atropine is not an antidote for cyanide poisoning. The primary antidotes for cyanide include hydroxocobalamin and sodium thiosulfate. Atropine is an anticholinergic medication used to treat bradycardia and certain types of poisoning, but it does not counteract the effects of cyanide.
What is the effect of atropine plus acetylcholine on frog heart?
ACh will decrease heart rate/contractile strength, etc. Atropine is a muscarinic ACh receptor (mAChR) antagonist, so blocks the effects of ACh. Adding both together will result in a weak action of ACh that tails off as all the mAChRs become blocked by Atropine.
Does atropine dry bronchial secretions?
Yes, atropine is known to dry bronchial secretions by blocking the effects of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the respiratory system, leading to decreased mucus production.

Can Demerol and atropine sulfate be taken together?
purpose of Demerol and atropine sulfate as preanaesthetic
Atropine is which type of drug?
Atropine is generally considered to be a cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist.
Does atropine block only nicotinic receptors?
Atropine does not only block nicotinic receptors but also acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors
Is atropine a vasodilator?
No
how atropine is discovered?
Atropine was first isolated in the early 19th century from the plant Atropa belladonna, commonly known as deadly nightshade. The compound was identified by the chemist Heinrich Wilhelm Ferdinand Wöhler in 1833, who recognized its physiological effects. Atropine is an alkaloid that acts as an anticholinergic agent, blocking the action of acetylcholine in the nervous system, which has led to its use in medicine for various applications, including the treatment of bradycardia and as an antidote for certain types of poisoning.
Different between atropine and hyoscyamine?
There is not much difference between them. Atropine and Hysocyamine are isomers of each other. Atropine is (+/-) Hyoscyamine, the tropic acid ester of tropine. The naturally occurring alkaloid is (-) Hyocyamine. Thus it can be said that Hyoscyamine is a racemic form of Atropine. In other words, Atropine is a racemic variety of tropine tropate, hysocyamine being the levorotatory enantiomorph of tropine tropate.
Is atropine dilation of the puil permanent after discontinuance of atropine?
No, the dilation of the pupil caused by atropine is not permanent. Atropine blocks the action of acetylcholine on the iris sphincter muscle, leading to dilation (mydriasis). Once atropine is discontinued, the effects typically wear off within several days as the drug is metabolized and eliminated from the body, allowing normal pupil function to return.
