Tachycardia Glaucoma Pyloric obstruction Worsening urinary retention Viscid bronchial plugs 5.1 Tachycardia When the recurrent use of atropine is essential in patients with coronary artery disease, the total dose should be restricted to 2 to 3 mg (maximum 0.03 to 0.04 mg/kg) to avoid the detrimental effects of atropine-induced tachycardia on myocardial oxygen demand. 5.2 Acute Glaucoma Atropine may precipitate acute glaucoma. 5.3 Pyloric Obstruction Atropine may convert partial organic pyloric stenosis into complete obstruction.

Warnings and precautions excerpt from the U.S. FDA-approved label — not a complete list. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before use.

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of atropine sulfate. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Most of the side effects of atropine are directly related to its antimuscarinic action.
