Who can use an atropine auto injector?
For many years physicians have prescribed the atropine auto-injector to patients with known nerve agent poisoning. To be authorized to possess and use the atropine auto-injector an individual or organization (as noted above) must have a written collaborative agreement with a physician “emergency health care provider” which is filed with the local Regional Emergency Medical Services Council and the Department of Health. All participating individuals must complete this or an equivalent training program.
