Antidote atropine

Antidote atropine is a medical activity that is used to counter the effects of certain poisons, such as organophosphates and nerve agents. Atropine is an alkaloid that is derived from belladonna plants and is used to block the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, on the heart and other organs. When atropine is used as an antidote, it works by preventing the action of acetylcholine on the heart and other organs. This prevents the accumulation of acetylcholine in the body, which can cause paralysis and death. By blocking the action of acetylcholine, atropine can reverse the effects of certain poisons and save lives.
