This is a syndrome consisting of muscarinic symptoms such as miosis, sweating, diarrhea, vomiting or hypersalivation; and nicotinic symptoms such as fasciculations or hypotonia.

In cases with evidence suggesting severe poisoning, we should start, ASAP, treatment with IV atropine (for adults, 2<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg IV every 5–10<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min if necessary, until reduction of bronchial secretion, then continuous infusion of 0.02–0.08<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/kg/h) might be required.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The action of atropine is explained by the competitive antagonism of acetylcholine at the muscarinic receptors, even considering the decrease of certain symptoms as an additional diagnostic criterion. Atropine has no action on nicotinic receptors, therefore, in situations where symptoms arising from their stimulation prevail, the use of pralidoxime is recommended.
