| rdfs:comment | - Atropine is a drug that stems bodily secretions. It is commonly used in surgeries to keep various bodily fluids (drool, mucus etc.) from accumulating under anesthesia. Dr. Carson Beckett ordered that Dr. Jennifer Keller be administered with atropine when she was infected by a Wraith pathogen. (SGA: "The Seed")
- Atropine is a tropane alkaloid extracted from deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), mandrake (Mandragora officinarum) and other plants of the family Solanaceae. It is a secondary metabolite of these plants and serves as a drug with a wide variety of effects. It is a competitive antagonist for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. It is classified as an anticholinergic drug. Being potentially deadly, it derives its name from Atropos, one of the three Fates who, according to Greek mythology, chose how a person was to die. Atropine is a core medicine in the World Health Organization's "Essential Drugs List", which is a list of minimum medical needs for a basic health care system.
- During Day 5, after the attack on the Sunrise Hills Shopping Mall, Jack Bauer asked the CTU agents for a shot of atropine for "a child under twelve" so that he could revive a young girl after her exposure to Sentox nerve gas. After Jack gave her the shot, her pulse stabilized and Jack left her in the care of the CTU medics. Later that day, after CTU had come under attack, Jack had responded to the remaining staff that the atropine was in the armory, which was in a contaminated zone and thus of no value to the staff.
- Atropine was a chemical found in Atropa belladonna, potentially poisonous both to humans and Sensorites. According to the First Doctor, its symptoms included dilation of the blood vessels, high temperature and pulse rate, and a dry mouth and throat. A group of humans intentionally added it to the water supply of Sense Sphere, the home planet of the Sensorites. However, the Doctor provided a cure to the poisoning that plagued the species. (TV: The Sensorites)
- Atropine is a pharmaceutical derivative of the nightshade family of plants. Its primary effect is to suppress the nerves that result in the relaxation of smooth muscle, heart muscle and glands. It is commonly used during a heart attack to prevent the heart from slowing during the attack, which could result in a lack of blood oxygen to the rest of the body. As atropine also blocks the action of acetycholine (which controls the autonomic relaxation functions), it is often used in the treatment of organophosphate poisoning as organophosphates also bind to the same receptors.

As atropine also blocks the action of acetycholine (which controls the autonomic relaxation functions), it is often used in the treatment of organophosphate poisoning as organophosphates also bind to the same receptors. Atropine is very dangerous and an overdose can result in dizziness, tachycardia, nausea, dilated pupils, photophobia, confusion and hallucinations. Higher doses are toxic. In addition, although it is often used to treat an extremely low heart rate, atropine can occasionally have the opposite effect as intended and slow the heart even further.
