What does it do?

Atropine sulfate is the sulfate form of the plant alkaloid atropine, primarily used in ophthalmology to dilate the pupil or temporarily paralyze the ciliary muscle. This aids in facilitating eye examinations or contributes to certain treatments.

Atropine sulfate acts on the muscles of the eye to paralyze the ciliary muscle and dilate the pupil of the iris. This temporarily halts the function of regulating the amount of light, causing the pupil to enlarge.
