contraindicated in organophosphate poisonings. Administer intravenous fluids cautiously, if needed, to correct dehydration. Symptoms of cholinesterase
inhibition can include headache, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, nausea, cramps, diarrhea, discomfort in the chest, nervousness, sweating, miosis,
tearing, salivation, pulmonary edema, uncontrollable twitches, convulsions, coma, and loss of reflexes and sphincter control.
