Atropine injected as an antidote for a cholinesterase inhibitor would cause: Decreased salivation, decreased secretions in the lungs, increased heart rate, dilated pupils, nervousness, decreased gastrointestinal motility, and constriction of the peripheral vessels. It is used routinely as a pre-anesthetic for the beneficial effects sited before. The dose in the auto-injectors is the same as a pre-anesthetic dose. The only problem I can see is that he would be like Don Knotts on speed with constipation.

Scuse me folks
But I was always told that Atropin was not very good stuff if you were NOT infected with nerve agent.
If there is any doubt, look at the ingredients in any can of RAID.
