cholinergic drugs Flashcards
Methacholine
M»N
slower metabolism with methyl on B carbon
Carbachol
non selective M = N
decreases hydrolysis due to presence of the carbamate
less likely to be broken down with AChE
longer circulation time
Bethanechol
longer half life
due to presence of the carbamate and methyl on B carbon
pilocarpine
plant derived
M agonist
lactone ring with ester = selective
Cevimeline
muscarinic agonist
post op or postpartum non obstructive urinary retention
bethanechol
disabling anticholinergic side effects from medications such as tricyclic antidepressants
bethanechol
diagonsis of bronchial airway hyper reactivity in subjects that do not have asthma
methacholine
miosis induction after ophthalmoscopic examination
pilocarpine
treatment of dry mouth (xerostomia) caused by radiation from cancer treatments / or Sjogren’s syndrome
pilocarpine
atropine
muscarinic antagonists
ophthalmic = causing midrasis and relaxation of ciliary muscle
tropicamide
muscarinic antagonists
ophthalmic = causing midrasis and relaxation of ciliary muscle
cyclopentolate
muscarinic antagonists
ophthalmic = causing midrasis and relaxation of ciliary muscle
Tiotropium
muscarinic antagonists
COPD
Ipratropium
muscarinic antagonists
COPD
