Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticholinergic agents, such as atropine or scopolamine, can be used to slow gastric emptying and intestinal motility, and inhibit vagal stimulation of insulin release, which can help in the treatment of reactive hypoglycemia. Insulin secretagogues, amylin analogs, incretin mimetics, and meglitinides have different mechanisms of action and are not commonly used for this purpose.
