Grammar and spelling matter here, even in this stressful situation!

a) It's probably atrophine sulfate.

b) I don't know what the 70 indicates. It's probably not the concentration in percent. It might be part of the formula (percentage) in a pesticide mixture, in case you have other potential problems besides atrophine poisoning.

c) Did your fellow watch ("attend") a suicide or try to kill himself ("attempt")? Dosage and time between the attempt and treatment are critical factors here. I really hope you aren't trying to cover this up without competent medical care (because of the social, moral, and legal issues associated with suicide).


Mechanism of Action

Blocks the action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic sites in smooth muscle, secretory glands and the CNS; increases cardiac output, dries secretions, antagonizes histamine and serotonin

Overdosage/Toxicology Symptoms of overdose

include dilated, unreactive pupils; blurred vision; hot, dry flushed skin; dryness of mucous membranes; difficulty swallowing; foul breath; diminished or absent bowel sounds; urinary retention; tachycardia; hyperthermia; hypertension; and increased respiratory rate.

For anticholinergic overdose with severe life-threatening symptoms, physostigmine 1-2 mg S.C. or I.V. slowly, may be given to reverse these effects.

When taken properly in oral form, here are the usual warning and side-effects:

Patient Information Take oral forms exactly as directed, 30 minutes before meals. Maintain adequate hydration (2-3 L/day of fluids unless instructed to restrict fluid intake). Void before taking medication. You may experience dizziness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light (use caution when driving or engaging in tasks requiring alertness until response to drug is known); dry mouth, nausea, or vomiting (small frequent meals, frequent mouth care, sucking lozenges, or chewing gum may help); orthostatic hypotension (use caution when climbing stairs and when rising from lying or sitting position); constipation (increased exercise, fluid, or dietary fiber may reduce constipation, if not effective consult prescriber); increased sensitivity to heat and decreased perspiration (avoid extremes of heat, reduce exercise in hot weather); decreased milk if breast-feeding. Report hot, dry, flushed skin; blurred vision or vision changes; difficulty swallowing; chest pain, palpitations, or rapid heartbeat; painful or difficult urination; increased confusion, depression, or loss of memory; rapid or difficult respirations; muscle weakness or tremors; or eye pain.

Generally adults get completely confused, quite baffled and a little out-of-their depth around me. Kids end up rolling on the floor with laughter. And other teenagers...it depends... But nearly everyone will end up with something quite unexpected happening...I'm that sort of person, just when you think that you've got me under control...BAM! Another purple pig falls out of the sky...
