Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. To evaluate the effect of treatment with 1% atropine sulfate in 30% ethyl alcohol saline (15 mg) through ITAD nebulization, estimated to give 2 mg for systemic absorption through lungs. 2. To evaluate the increase in bioavailability, if any, of atropine sulfate in comparison to intramuscularly administered atropine sulfate Timepoint: NIL	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To evaluate the effect of treatment with study medication on heart rate (HR) and atropinization signs/symptoms 2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of study medication. 3. To evaluate the physicians and volunteers overall assessment of the effectiveness and tolerability of the study medication Timepoint: NIL	—
