What is Scopolamine Market Scope?
Scopolamine is an alkaloid drug extracted from a plant called henbane used to treat nausea and motion sickness and to further dilate the pupil during ophthalmic procedures. Scopolamine belongs to a class of drugs called anticholinergics. It blocks the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which stimulates the part of the brain that causes nausea and vomiting, involuntary muscle movements in the lungs, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. Scopolamine reduces the secretion of certain organs in the body, such as the stomach and intestines. Scopolamine also decreases nerve signals that make your stomach vomit. Scopolamine is used to prevent nausea and vomiting from motion sickness or anesthesia during surgery. Scopolamine is also used to treat certain stomach or intestinal problems, muscle cramps, and Parkinson's-like conditions. An overdose of scopolamine can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include fever, warmth, vomiting, restlessness or excitement, confusion, hallucinations, weak or shallow breathing, or fits (convulsions). This medicine can cause blurred vision, thinking, and reactions. Scopolamine can reduce sweating, making it more prone to heatstroke. Scopolamine can also dilate the pupils and make the eyes more sensitive to light.
