Question: 1 / 400

How does atropine sulfate work as an antidote?

By inducing vomiting

Through neutralizing toxins directly

By counteracting excessive acetylcholine

Atropine sulfate works as an antidote by counteracting the effects of excessive acetylcholine in the body. This is important in cases of poisoning or overdose where there is an excess amount of acetylcholine causing unwanted symptoms. It does not neutralize toxins directly or induce vomiting, but rather works to block the receptors that are affected by acetylcholine. This allows symptoms to be alleviated and the body to return to a more balanced state. Atropine sulfate does not simply provide symptomatic relief, but rather addresses the root cause of the poisoning or overdose.
