  • Presence of Tropane Belladona Alkaloids in Urine sample by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
  • Absorbed through GI tract.

  • Gastric Lavage is Indicated in the first 1 - 2 hours.

  • Repetitive dose of Activated Charcoal not indicated as GI motility reduced inducing multiple episodes of vomiting and abdominal ileus.

  • Physostigmine is to be discontinued if excessive vomiting, salivation, diarrhoea and urination occur.

  • Rapid Infusion causes Bradycardia, Hypersalivation and Convulsions.
