37
Q

what are clinical uses of tropicamide?

A

opthalmic use (mydriasis)

38
Q

why is there little therapeutic uses for agonists?

A

very few diseases of decreasing parasympathetic activity, more due to increasing activity

39
Q

what are the general problems of selectivity with antagonists?

A
  • few differentiate between subtypes effectively
  • muscarinic ACh receptors widespread; side effects
  • control by route of administration and distribution
