METHACHOLINE CHLORIDE

Cholinergic Receptor Agonist [EPC]; Cholinergic Agonists [MoA]

METHACHOLINE CHLORIDE INHALATION SOLUTION

Cholinergic Agonists [MoA]; Cholinergic Receptor Agonist [EPC]

Agents causing contraction of the pupil of the eye. Some sources use the term miotics only for the parasympathomimetics but any drug used to induce miosis is included here.

Drugs that mimic the effects of parasympathetic nervous system activity. Included here are drugs that directly stimulate muscarinic receptors and drugs that potentiate cholinergic activity, usually by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine (CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS). Drugs that stimulate both sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons (GANGLIONIC STIMULANTS) are not included here.

Agents causing the narrowing of the lumen of a bronchus or bronchiole.

Drugs that bind to and activate muscarinic cholinergic receptors (RECEPTORS, MUSCARINIC). Muscarinic agonists are most commonly used when it is desirable to increase smooth muscle tone, especially in the GI tract, urinary bladder and the eye. They may also be used to reduce heart rate.
