Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dilating the pupils requires blocking the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for constriction of the pupils. Anticholinergics are drugs that block the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, the medication given to Edward is likely an anticholinergic.
