About this document

Overview of Parasympathomimetic Drugs by stormsterm is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Parasympathomimetic drugs, also known as cholinomimetics, mimic the effects of the parasympathetic nervous system and are classified into direct-acting and indirect-acting types. Acetylcholine, the primary neurotransmitter, has various pharmacological actions including miosis, bradycardia, and increased gastrointestinal motility, but its therapeutic use is limited due to rapid metabolism. Side effects include bradycardia and hypotension, with atropine serving as an antidote for excessive effects.
