Safety information
Known Contraindications
-
Critical
Known hypersensitivity to atropine is a contraindication.
-
Warning
Atropine does not reverse nicotinic signs such as muscle twitching and paralysis. A massive organophosphate overdose can therefore still be fatal despite atropine treatment.Sources: MSD Vet Manual
-
Warning
Use cautiously in tachyarrhythmia because atropine increases heart rate. For treatment of bradycardia, do not exceed 0.04 mg/kg.
-
Warning
Use cautiously in glaucoma because antimuscarinic medicines dilate the pupil and increase intraocular pressure.
-
Caution
Avoid excessive atropinization because the response diminishes with repeated administration.Sources: MSD Vet Manual
Known Drug Interactions
-
Minor warning
Metoclopramide + Atropine
In animals with gastritis, avoid giving anticholinergic drugs such as atropine with metoclopramide because they can oppose its effect on gastrointestinal motility.Recommendation: Avoid the combination in gastritis because the anticholinergic can oppose metoclopramide. Concomitant diarrhoea alone is not a contraindication to anticholinergic treatment.Sources: Product label
-
Minor warning
Dexmedetomidine + Atropine
Use anticholinergic drugs cautiously with dexmedetomidine because marked cardiovascular effects may occur.Recommendation: Do not administer together routinely; manage bradycardia individually with monitoring.Sources: Dexdomitor SPC · FDA
