How is atropine sulphate useful in preparation of nasal drop?

Atropine sulfate is a parasympatholytic agent that helps to reduce nasal gland secretions and may be useful in formulations for nasal drops to decrease excess nasal secretions and relieve symptoms such as runny nose or postnasal drip. Its ability to inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system can help in drying the nasal passages and reducing nasal congestion. However, it is important to use atropine sulfate under the guidance of a healthcare professional due to its potential side effects and contraindications.
