Is atropine is an antispasmodic

Yes, atropine is considered an antispasmodic medication. It works by blocking the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors, leading to relaxation of smooth muscles in various organs, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. This property makes it useful in treating conditions involving spasms or excessive motility, such as irritable bowel syndrome. However, atropine is primarily known for its use in increasing heart rate and as an antidote for certain types of poisoning.
