Atropine may blunt reflex bronchoconstriction in asthma or bronchitis; leaves open clinical translation and requires prospective trials.
Does atropine sulfate prevent reflex airway constriction induced by various stimuli in patients with asthma or bronchitis?
Sensitized cough receptors and efferent cholinergic pathways may be involved in triggering reflex airway constriction in patients with obstructive airway disease.
Simonsson et al. (1967) studied this question.
