Dr. Cui Zhenqin
Atropine’s pharmacological effects typically include relief of smooth muscle spasm and inhibition of glandular secretion. It is commonly used to treat pain caused by gastrointestinal spasms, renal colic, biliary colic, and other similar conditions, thereby effectively alleviating pain symptoms. In clinical practice, atropine may be administered orally, intramuscularly, or via intravenous infusion.
