Oropharyngeal absorption of atropine
International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Therapy, and Toxicology
|November 1, 1986
Abstract:
The oropharyngeal absorption of atropine was studied following 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.07 mg/kg doses of the drug to pregnant patients at term and compared with a 0.02 mg/kg dose given either intramuscularly or subcutaneously. The rate of systemic drug absorption was comparable following the two parenteral drug injections, but oropharyngeal atropine administration is of minor clinical significance.
