Atropair is atropine sulfate, an anticholinergic agent used for sinus bradycardia, peptic ulcer, and exercise-induced bronchospasm. It works by blocking acetylcholine's action at parasympathetic sites, increasing cardiac output and drying secretions. Dosages vary depending on the condition and age of the patient. Adverse effects include dry mouth, constipation, and increased heart rate. Nurses should monitor vital signs, lung and bowel sounds, fluid intake and output, and for signs of abdominal distention when patients are receiving atropair.
