(In Vitro) :Homatropine methylbromide (Homatropine methobromide) (20 μM) alone produces a dose ratio of 259 in atrium from guinea-pigs. Homatropine methylbromide (Homatropine methobromide) (20 μM) produces a dose ratio of only 95.0 when combined with hexamethonium in atrium from guinea-pigs. (In Vivo) :Pre-treatment with Homatropine methylbromide (Homatropine methobromide) (20 mg/kg) was comparable with atropine (10 mg/kg) in preventing lethality in this rat model of acute OC poisoning.
