Atropine is an anticholinergic medication. It works by blocking the activity of a
chemical messenger (acetylcholine) in the brain.

Atropine is used to help reduce saliva, mucus, or other secretions in your airway
during a surgery. Atropine is also used to treat spasms in the stomach, intestines,
bladder, or other organs.
Atropine is sometimes used as an antidote to treat certain types of poisoning.
