What the FDA labels say about taking them together
Atropine and propofol
Propofol's FDA label of September 11, 2025 names atropine in its warnings and precautions section; the atropine labels PlainMeds reads (4) do not name propofol. The propofol label: “The intravenous administration of anticholinergic agents should be considered to modify potential increases in vagal tone due to concomitant agents (e.g., succinylcholine) or surgical stimuli.”
