Atropine-like drugs - Atropin Yattoko


[Parasympatholytic agent]
A drug that blocks the muscarinic action caused by parasympathetic stimulants. Atropine is a representative example, so it is also called an atropine-like drug or an antimuscarinic drug. Atropine does not affect the nicotinic action that acetylcholine exerts on autonomic ganglia, motor nerve endings, etc.

From [Anticonvulsants]

...A drug that relaxes abnormal contractions and spasms of visceral smooth muscles and relieves visceral pain caused by spasms. It is broadly divided into two types. One is a parasympathetic nerve suppressant (anticholinergic drug) represented by atropine, which is also called neurotropic antispasmodic or atropine-like agent. It inhibits and antagonizes acetylcholine, blocking the transmission of nerve excitation and relieving spasms. The other is a drug that acts directly on smooth muscle cells to suppress spasms, and since papaverine is a typical example of this drug, it is also called neurotropic antispasmodic or papaverine-like agent.
