Rather, this is going to be excreted. The best option is for the patient to take hydrophobic drugs so that the volume will become higher.

Urinary retention is not a side effect of cholinoreceptor blocker (Atropine).

An organophosphate is compound whose molecule contains either one or multiple phosphate ester groups. This especially, but not exclusively, refers to organic fertilizers of this type. Generally organophosphates is the broad name given to esters of phosphoric acid. It should be noted as well that organophosphates often have an intense neurotoxic activity as well.

It is also used as an antidote to treat the toxicity of Acetylcholine esterase inhibitors organophosphate and beta blockers. Atropine can decrease urgency of urine in a person causing urinary retention. It can also help increase the activity of the heart; it causes mydriasis as well constipation in persons taking atropine. Side effects are undesirable effects of drugs. Any of these options can become a side effect to a person based on the reason he or she is using this medication. For example, a person using atropine for an ophthalmic condition will find constipation, urinary retention and increased pulse to be a side effect of this medication as these effects are not required.
