Pharmacology: |
Methscopolamine is a muscarinic antagonist structurally similar to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and acts by blocking the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and is thus classified as an anticholinergic. Methscopolamine has many uses including the prevention of motion sickness. It is not clear how Methscopolamine prevents nausea and vomiting du...

Mechanism of Action: | Methscopolamine acts by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses by acetylcholine in the parasympathetic nervous system (specifically the vomiting center). It does so by acting as a muscarinic antagonist. |
Absorption: | Poorly and unreliably absorbed, total absorption is 10-25%. |
Biotransformation: | Little is known about the fate and excretion of methscopolamine. |
Toxicity: | Symptoms of a methscopolamine overdose include headache, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, blurred vision, dilated pupils, hot, dry skin, dizziness; drowsiness, confusion, anxiety, seizures, weak pulse, and an irregular heartbeat. In addition, a curare-like action may occur, i.e., neuromuscular blockade leading to muscular weakness and possible paralysis. |
Affected organisms: | Humans and other mammals |
