Chapter 5 Cholinergic Drugs
Cholinergic Drugs ●Definition -Drugs that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) -Producing actions similar to that of acetylcholine (ACh) The PSNS is the opposing system to the SNS -Parasympathomimetics/cholinomimetics -Mimic the effects of the PSNS neurotransmitter:acetylcholine (ACh)
Cholinergic Drugs • Definition – Drugs that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) – Producing actions similar to that of acetylcholine (ACh) – The PSNS is the opposing system to the SNS – Parasympathomimetics/ cholinomimetics – Mimic the effects of the PSNS neurotransmitter: acetylcholine (ACh)
Drug Effects ·The PSNS is the“rest and digest”system ·“SLUDGE -Salivation -Lacrimation -Urinary incontinence -Diarrhea -Gastrointestinal cramps -Emesis
Drug Effects • The PSNS is the “rest and digest” system • “SLUDGE” – Salivation – Lacrimation – Urinary incontinence – Diarrhea – Gastrointestinal cramps – Emesis

Organ Effects of Pilocarpine(毛果芸香碱) Pilocarpine is applied to the cornea Eye and produces a rapid miosis and (constrict pupil) Lungs (constrict bronchioles contraction of the ciliary muscle and increase secretions) Heart PARASYMPATHETIC (decreased heart rate) Blood vessel (dilate) Ganglion Spinal cord Gastrointestinal (increase peristalsis and secretions) Bladder Pilocarpine is one of the most Salivary gland (contracts) potent stimulators of secretions. (increased salivation) Such as sweat,tears,and saliva

Glaucoma Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness and of great pharmacologic interest because the chronic form often responds to drug therapy. The primary manifestation is increased intraocular pressure not initially associated with symptoms.Without treatment,increased intraocular pressure results in damage to the retina and optic nerve,with restriction of visual fields and,eventually blindness
