This drug is in clinical use in Europe
But there are some problems.
The intially recommended dose is not effective and the current dosage recommendations are much higher that what they used to be.
Also some hypotension and arrythmias is causing concerns.
If you want the details I will provide the link in my next reply

still waiting for the link. The corrupted FDA has stopped the entry to US...I used it in training, I had no problems with high doses, no adverse fx. Definitely safer than Neostigmine/Glycopyrolate combination.
