Pharmaniaga Atropine Side Effects

As with all medicines, Atropine Sulphate Solution for Injection 1 mg/mL may cause some side effects.
Side effects are more likely with higher doses, but usually disappear once treatment stops.
Rarely an allergic reaction may develop. This may cause skin rashes, severe itching, peeling of the skin, swelling of the face (especially around the lips and eyes), tightening of the throat and difficulty breathing or swallowing, fever, dehydration, shock and fainting. These are all very serious side effects.
Tell the doctor immediately if the patient experiences any of these side effects.
Possible side effects include reduced saliva (spit), sweat and phlegm (this can make phlegm more difficult to cough up), enlarged pupils (this may make the vision blurred), a faster or irregular heartbeat, difficulty in passing urine, constipation, hallucinations, increased eye pressure, loss of taste, headache, nervousness, drowsiness, weakness, blushing, sleeplessness and bloated feeling.
Occasional side effects that may occur include mental confusion and/or excitement (especially in the elderly), nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
If the patient has any side effects that become serious, or if the patient has any other side effects not mentioned, tell the doctor.
