Warnings and Precautions 5.1 Tachycardia When the recurrent use of atropine is essential in patients with coronary artery disease, the total dose should be restricted to 2 to 3 mg (maximum 0.03 to 0.04 mg/kg) to avoid the detrimental effects of atropine-induced tachycardia on myocardial oxygen demand. 5.2 Acute Glaucoma Atropine may precipitate acute glaucoma. 5.3 Pyloric Obstruction Atropine may convert partial organic pyloric stenosis into complete obstruction. 5.4 Complete Urinary Retention Atropine may lead to complete urinary retention in patients with prostatic hypertrophy. 5.5 Viscid Plugs Atropine may cause inspissation of bronchial secretions and formation of viscid plugs in patients with chronic lung disease.
