    Scopolamine is an anticholinergic drug that inhibits the muscarinic actions of acetylcholine. It is indicated for spastic states, delirium, preanesthetic sedation, and obstetrics amnesia when used with analgesics. Common adverse reactions include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, tachycardia, and urinary retention. Nurses should monitor patients for paradoxical reactions, instruct them on proper administration of transdermal patches, and warn of potential withdrawal symptoms.
