CHOLINOMIMETIC a cholinergic agonist having primarily muscarinic, prokinetic effects; used to stimulate smooth muscle contraction of the urinary bladder in the treatment of postoperative, postpartum, or neurogenic atony of the bladder with retention. Administered orally or subcutaneously.

CHOLINOMIMETIC a cholinergic agonist, carbamylcholine chloride, that is not hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase or pseudocholinesterase; used as a miotic and to lower intraocular pressure in the treatment of glaucoma and following cataract surgery.

CHOLINOMIMETIC a cholinergic agonist that acts on muscarinic receptors of effector cells, mimicking the effects of acetylcholine and increasing secretion of exocrine glands and smooth muscle tone of gastrointestinal and urinary tracts; used in the treatment of xerostomia associated with Sjögren syndrome, (mouth dryness) administered orally.

CHOLINOMIMETIC When applied to the eye, it produces miosis and a transient rise and persistent fall in intraocular pressure; used in the treatment of glaucoma.

CHOLINOMIMETIC nicotinic receptor partial agonist

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR a cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis to treat the symptoms of muscular weakness and fatigue; administered orally.

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR anticholinesterase agents applied topically to the conjunctiva to produce miosis, reduce intraocular pressure, and potentiate accommodation in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and of closed-angle glaucoma after iridectomy, and in the management of accommodative esotropia.

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR what is the function of demecarium or echothiophate?

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR an anticholinesterase agent with a duration of action of approximately 10 minutes; used for differential diagnosis and evaluation of treatment requirements in myasthenia gravis and as an antagonist to nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g., tubocurarine).

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR an organophosphorus insecticide and topical parasiticide, good for scabies. (anticholineesterase)

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR an organophosphorus insecticide having potent anticholinesterase activity; especially effective against Schistosoma haematobium. Administered topically as an ectoparasiticide in humans, and sometimes orally as an anthelmintic; used more commonly in veterinary medicine as an oral anthelmintic. Overdosage can cause organophosphorus compound poisoning (q.v.). Called also trichlorfon and trichlorphon.

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR anticholineesterase in the symptomatic control of myasthenia gravis, and to produce miosis in certain forms of glaucoma in patients who have developed tolerance to other miotics; administered orally and applied to the conjunctiva.

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR an organophosphorus agricultural insecticide that is highly toxic to humans and other animals

CHOLINE-ESTERASE INHIBITOR anti-acetylcholineesterase Treatment of atropine overdose and glaucoma (because lipid soluable). Enters the CNS rapidly and has a stimulant effect, which may lead to convulsions. used topically to produce miosis and decrease of intraocular pressure in glaucoma and parenterally to reverse the central nervous system effects produced by overdosage of anticholinergic drugs (anticholinergic syndrome). Called also eserine.

an alkaloid derived from species of belladonna, hyoscyamus, or stramonium, or produced synthetically. It is an anticholinergic and antimuscarinic, used as an antispasmodic to relax smooth muscles and to increase and regulate the heart rate by blocking the vagus nerve. It also serves as an antidote for various toxic and anticholinesterase agents and as an antisecretory, mydriatic, and cycloplegic. Ingestion of excessive amounts causes atropinism.

he chloride salt of pralidoxime, used as an antidote in the treatment of poisoning due to organophosphates having anticholinesterase activity and to counteract the effects of overdosage by anticholinesterases

a cholinesterase inhibitor, which acts by inhibiting destruction of acetylcholine and so facilitating transmission of impulses across the neuromuscular junction; used as a cholinergic in the symptomatic treatment of myasthenia gravis and for reversal of the effects of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents such as tubocurarine after surgery; administered orally, intravenously, or intramuscularly.
