La scopolamine, également appelée hyoscine, a une structure chimique très voisine de celle de l'atropine. Ses effets périphériques sont semblables à ceux de l'atropine, mais ses effets centraux diffèrent : elle a une action sédative, tranquillisante, légèrement euphorisante, elle favorise le sommeil, renforce l'action des hypnotiques et des tranquillisants et a un effet amnésiant. Cependant chez les malades qui éprouvent de fortes douleurs, elle peut avoir un effet excitant et provoquer des hallucinations. 5, record 1, French, - scopolamine
