Sal-Tropine

Sal-Tropine is an anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) agent. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, on muscarinic receptors. This action reduces secretions in the mouth, respiratory tract, and stomach, decreases gastrointestinal motility, and relaxes smooth muscle.

Dosage by Body Weight

Adults: The usual oral dose is 0.4 mg to 0.6 mg every 4 to 6 hours. Pediatric dosing of oral atropine is highly restricted and must be carefully calculated and supervised by a physician due to the high risk of toxicity and hyperthermia in children.
