Question
Answer
Direct Muscarinic Agonists   1.Acytelcholine. 2.Methacholine. 3.Bethanechol. 4.Pilocarpine. 5.Carbachol. 6.Cevimeline. 7.Muscarine.  
🗑
Adverse effects of direct Muscarinic Agonists   1.Inc Salivation. 2.Inc Sweating. 3.Intestinal cramps. 4.Aggravate Ulcer. 5.VD/Hypotension (Endothelial NO). 6.Bradycardia or reflex tachycardia (M2). 7.Asthma. 8.Near vision (lense rounding). 9.Miosis.  
🗑
Direct Muscarinic Agonists: Acetylcholine & Methacoline   Mech of action: Directly binds to M receptors.  
🗑
Direct Muscarinic Agonists: Pilocarpine   1.Mech of action: Direct M agonist causing salivation, Inc aq humour outflow/drainage for Open & narrow angle glaucoma. 2.Oral, Topical-EYE. 3.Used to treat Open & Narrow Angle glaucoma, Sjogren's syndrome, radiation induced dry mouth.  
🗑
What is the only drug used to treat NARROW angle Glaucoma (all others are for open angle)?   Pilocarpine  
🗑
How does Pilocarpine affect Open angle glaucoma differently from Narrow angle glaucoma   OAG-Contracts ciliary m.: pulls on trabecular meshwork: open holes: Inc outflow of aq humor NAG-contract the iris sphincter smooth m.: induce miosis: pulls the iris away from the trabecular meshwork: Inc outflow of aq humor: dec IOP  
🗑
Direct Muscarinic Agonists: Bethanechol   1.Mech of action: directly activates M receptors. 2.Used to treat Post-op abdominal distention & urinary retention, Neurogenic atony of the bladder w/o retention. **used to treat NONOBSTRUCTIVE symptoms.  
🗑
Direct Muscarinic Agonists: Carbachol   1.Mech of action: Directly M agonist that contracts ciliary muscles Inc outflow/drainage of aq humour. 2.used as a 2nd line of defense after Pilocarpine for OAG.  
🗑
Direct Muscarinic Agonists: Cevimeline   1.Mech of action: Direct M agonist selective on salivary glands. 2.Bioav: longer lasting salivation effect (4-6hrs). 3.Used to treat Sjogren's syndrome (newer than Pilocarpine)  
🗑
Direct Muscarinic Agonists: Muscarine   1.Mech of action: direct M agonist. 2.From: Mushrooms.  
🗑
Problems with ACh as a drug?   1.Very short half life. 2.Activates N & M receptors. 3.TOO MANY SIDE EFFECTS.  
🗑
What M agonist would be best to treat Urinary bladder and GI issues?   Bethanechol  
🗑
Would Bethanechol be good to treat BPH?   NO!! it is and OBSTRUCTIVE urinary bladder w/ retention. **Bethanechol only affects NONOBSTRUCTIVE.  
🗑
What is Sjogren's Syndrome?   Autoimmune disease attacking salivary and tear glands. **Treat with: 1.Pilocarpine, 2.Cevimeline (longer lasting and fewer side effects).  
🗑
