Depending on how much you take, "death" is a possibility. Atropine is poisonous.
The side effects of atropine when taken in ordinary therapeutic doses include dryness of the mouth, blurred vision, photophobia, tachycardia, palpitation, dilated pupils, difficulty in swallowing, hot dry skin, thirst, dizziness, restlessness, tremor, fatigue and ataxia.
At higher doses, marked palpitation, restlessness and excitement, hallucinations, delirium and coma are possible, and in cases of severe atropine intoxication, blood pressure declines and death due to respiratory failure may ensue following paralysis and coma.

What is the effect of atropine plus acetylcholine on frog heart?
ACh will decrease heart rate/contractile strength, etc. Atropine is a muscarinic ACh receptor (mAChR) antagonist, so blocks the effects of ACh. Adding both together will result in a weak action of ACh that tails off as all the mAChRs become blocked by Atropine.
What is the properties of solution in sugar?
No effect
What is the Tyndall effect of sugar solution?
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or fine suspension, making the beam of light visible. In a sugar solution, which is a true solution (not a colloid), the particles are too small to scatter light significantly, so the Tyndall effect is not observed.
What effect does adding solute have on the freezing point of a solution?
the temperature at which the solution freezes is lowered.
What effect does pressure have on solutions?
Pressure can have a small effect on the solubility of gases in a solution, with solubility generally increasing with higher pressure. However, pressure typically does not have a significant effect on the solubility of solids or liquids in a solution.
Atropine sulfate preoperatively?
atropine sulfate is used as an antidote of anticholinesterase meds administered on patients with myasthenia gravis. Atropine sulfate should be also made available when performing the Tensilon Test to reverse the effect of Edrophonium injection.
Will pilocarpine reverse effect of atropine?
yes
What happens when copper sulphate is added to water?
When copper sulfate is added to water, it dissolves and forms a blue solution. The copper ions (Cu2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-) are dispersed in the water, making a homogeneous mixture. This solution can be used for various applications, such as in agriculture as a fungicide or in chemistry experiments.
Why does atropine cause tachycardia?
Check out the atropine page at wikipedia.org for your answer.
What would be the effect of atropine on the heart?
Atropine is a cholinergic antagonist which blocks the acetylcholine receptor causing increased sympathetic tone increasing the heart rate
Why physostigmine is the antidote for atropine?
Physostigmine inhibit AchE (the enzyme that hadrolyse Ach), so Ach accumulate at synaptic cleft and banish the effect of atropine
What effect does atropine have on heart rate?
Ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia.
Why atropine sulfate given pre-op?
Atropine is given pre- op because as an anti cholinergic drug, it reduces nasal (and gastric) secretions. The drug prevents the patient from aspirating nasal secretions while under anesthesia.
Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?
It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors
Why is the beaker coverd with watchglass when heating the combine solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulfate solution on a waterbath?
protect the heat effect from the sun
Why atropine has no effect on blood pressure?
The muscarinic receptors in the vasculature are not inneravated by the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, atropine binds to these receptors, but causes no response since it is a pure muscarinic antagonist.
What is the ratio of water to copper sulfate?
Ah, the ratio of water to copper sulfate is a wonderful thing to explore. You see, for every gram of copper sulfate, you might need a certain amount of water to create a solution. It's all about finding the right balance to achieve the desired effect in your painting, just like adding the perfect colors to your canvas.
