Anticholinergic Drug- A neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (ACh) works at synapses in the peripheral nervous system. Chemicals called anticholinergics (sometimes known as anticholinergic medications) stop the action of neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is suppressed by these medications because they specifically prohibit ACh from adhering to its receptor in nerve cells.

Atropine- Atropine is a naturally occurring tertiary amine (alkaloid) produced from <em>Atropa belladonna</em> (deadly nightshade). It includes hyoscyamine's d and l isomers. It is a non-selective inhibitor of muscarinic receptors.
