This liquid formulation is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing the patient to administer the desired number of drops directly into the mouth. This method is particularly beneficial for medications requiring smaller doses or for pediatric patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

Atropine Sulfate is an anticholinergic medication that functions by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in numerous bodily functions. It is commonly used in the treatment of various conditions such as glaucoma, urinary incontinence, and motion sickness. Additionally, it can be utilized to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, reduce the risk of aspiration during surgery, and minimize the side effects from certain medications.

The Atropine Sulfate 1% Sublingual Oral Drops are administered sublingually, meaning they are placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve. This method of administration allows for quick and efficient absorption of the medication, providing rapid relief from symptoms. This formulation is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty swallowing pills or capsules.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Atropine Sulfate 1% Sublingual Oral Drops is a specialized medication formulated to treat a variety of conditions such as bradycardia, glaucoma, and mydriasis. The drops are designed for sublingual administration, where they are placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve. The active ingredient, atropine sulfate, is absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth, allowing for quick entry into the bloodstream and rapid onset of action, typically within minutes.

Atropine Sulfate 1% Sublingual Oral Drops function by inhibiting the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for slowing the heart rate. This blockage results in an increased heart rate, restoring it to a normal pace.

Atropine Sulfate 1% Sublingual Oral Drops also serve as a treatment for glaucoma, a condition marked by elevated pressure within the eye. The medication works by reducing the production of aqueous humor, a fluid that contributes to intraocular pressure. By decreasing the production of this fluid, the pressure within the eye is alleviated, thus mitigating the symptoms of glaucoma.

Additionally, Atropine Sulfate 1% Sublingual Oral Drops are used to treat mydriasis, a condition where the pupils of the eyes are excessively dilated. The medication functions by blocking the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for pupil constriction. By inhibiting this action, the pupils are dilated, returning them to a normal size.

It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when taking this medication. If you have any queries regarding the use of Atropine Sulfate 1% Sublingual Oral Drops, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
