What is the treatment for Atropa belladonna poisoning?
Treatment of Atropa belladonna poisoning involves supportive care and symptomatic management. Activated charcoal may be administered if the patient presents within a short time of ingestion to limit absorption. Physostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is the antidote of choice and can reverse central and peripheral anticholinergic effects. However, it should be used cautiously under close monitoring. Other supportive measures include intravenous fluids, benzodiazepines for agitation or seizures, and monitoring of vital signs.
