Question:
B. Scopolamine
Author: SuzukiAnswer:
Scopolamine, another tertiary amine plant alkaloid, produces peripheral effects similar to those of atropine. However, scopolamine has greater action on the CNS (unlike with atropine, CNS effects are observed at therapeutic doses) and a longer duration of action in comparison to those of atropine. Pharmacokinetics and adverse effects are similar to those of atropine.
