A farmer presents with miosis, increased salivation, bronchorrhea, and muscle fasciculations after exposure to pesticides. Which pharmacological agent would be most appropriate for acute treatment of his muscarinic symptoms?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
The symptoms describe organophosphate poisoning, which inhibits acetylcholinesterase. Atropine is a muscarinic antagonist that blocks the effects of excess acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors.
