Atropine is contraindicated in conditions such as glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma, where it can increase intraocular pressure. It is also contraindicated in patients with myasthenia gravis, as it can exacerbate muscle weakness. Additionally, atropine should be avoided in cases of obstructive uropathy or gastrointestinal obstruction, where its anticholinergic effects could worsen the situation.

Who and how was atropine discovered?
Atropine was discovered by German chemist Friedrich Ferdinand Runge in 1831. He isolated atropine from the deadly nightshade plant (Atropa belladonna). Atropine is known for its anticholinergic properties and is used in medicine to dilate pupils and treat certain medical conditions.
Is atropine obtained from plants?
Yes, atropine is obtained from plants such as Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna) and Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). These plants contain alkaloids that are extracted to produce atropine, which is commonly used as a medication to treat a variety of conditions.
Why is Atropine contraindicated in patients pre-disposed to narrow angle glaucoma?
Atropine is contraindicated in patients predisposed to narrow-angle glaucoma because it can cause pupil dilation (mydriasis), which may lead to increased intraocular pressure. In narrow-angle glaucoma, the drainage angle of the eye is already compromised, and dilation can further obstruct the drainage of aqueous humor. This can precipitate an acute glaucoma attack, resulting in severe pain and potential vision loss. Therefore, alternatives that do not induce pupil dilation are preferred in these patients.
