What is Bethanechol, what is it used for and what are the MOA?

1) M agonist of ParaSNS 2) used to Tx neurogenic urinary retention 3) MOA = stimulation of detrusor muscle and relaxation of internal urethral sphincter

What are the adverse effects and contraindications of Bethanechol

AE: GI upset, orthostatic hypotension, facial flushing, headache




Contraindications: Asthma, peptic ulcer disease, hyperthyroidism

What is Opthalmic Pilocarpine, what is it used for and what is the MOA?

1) M agonist of ParaSNS, 2) used to tx. Open Angle Glaucoma (slow AH flow in OAG so need to inc it 3) MOA = pupil constriction = inc AH Flow

Are there many side effects associated w/Opthalmic Pilocarpine?

No significant SE

What is Oral Pilocarpine, what is it used for, and what is it's MOA?

1) M agonist


2) Used to tx dry mouth


3) Inc Saliva production

What are the adverse effects of Oral Pilocarpine

Nausea, sweating, inc urinary output, night blindness - WHY?

What are Neostigmines, Physostigmines, and Pyridstigmines, what are they used for, and what is their MOA?

1) Reversible AChE Inhibitors 2) Alzheimers Disease, 3) cause buildup of ACh since most are no longer intact w/A.D.

What are organophosphates, carbomates, and nerve gas and what is their MOA?

1) Quasi reversible AchE inhibitors (mostly poisons)


2) Binds to AChE receptors and doesn't unbind so ACh builds up and can't be broken down

What are adverse effects of Quasi Reversible AChE inhibitors?

Bronchoconstriction, dec HR, vasodilation, dec BP, muscles contract and spasm (BAD FOR DIAPHRAGM)

What is used to manage organophosphate poisoning?

1) Atropine + symptomatic/supportive care +


(Atropine is a M receptor antagonist so it would block M receptors on heart/lungs) - this won't do anything for skeletal muscle b/c no 'M' receptors there so we need...




2) Pralidoxime (reactivates AChE for diaphragm

What is Homatropine (Opthalmic), what is it used for and what is the MOA?

1) Anti-Muscarinic, 2) pupil dilation for eye exam, 3) blocks M receptor = pupil dilation

What are some adverse effects of Homatropine (Ophthalmic)

Bad day vision d/t pupil dilation

What are trospium choloride, tolterodine, oxybutynin, darifenacin, & solifenacin, what are they used for and what is their MOA?

1) Anti Muscarinic


2) Overactive bladder and urge incontinence


3) Blocks M receptors blocking urge to urinate by relaxing internal urethral sphincter & constricting detrusor muscle

What are side effects of Anti-muscarinincs?

dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred near vision, photophobia (day blindness), constipation, tachycardia




remember that SYMPATHETIC RESPONSE takes over w/Anti-Muscarinics!

What are dicyclomine and hyosycamine, what are they used for and what is their MOA?

Anti-M, used for IBS-D & intestinal spasms, blocks M receptor and decreases GI motility

What are ipratropium bromide, tiortropium bromide, what are they used for and what is their MOA?

Anti-muscarinic, used for bronchospasms from chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma. MOA= blocks M receptors = bronchodilation

What is atropine sulfate, what is it used for and what is its MOA?

Anti-muscarinic, used to tx life threatening bradycardia, blocks M receptors to inc H.R.

What is scopolamine, what is it used for, and what is its MOA?

Anti-muscarinic, used for motion sickness, blocks M receptors in inner ear

What is benzotropropine, what is it used for, and what is its MOA?

Anti-muscarinic, used for Parkinson's disease, blocks ACh in brain to dec tremors

What are symptoms of anti-muscarinic (atropnine poisoning)

Dry as a bone, red as a beat, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, hot as a furness




(no secretions, facial flush, can't focus eyes, hallucinations, fever)

What is Donezpil, what is it used for and what is its MOA?

M agonist, used for Alzheimers, inc ACh

What are Atracrurium, Cistacrurium, Pancuronium, Rocuronium, & Vecuronium, what are they used for and what is their MOA?

Non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, used to induce muscle relaxation (paralysis) during Sx, facilitate intubation, and endoscopic procedures (e.g. bronchoscopy). MOA = competitive antagonist of ACh at NICOTINIC receptors

What are side effects of NonDepolarizing Neuromuscular blockers?

some release histamine which can lead to bronchospasm, hypotension and tachycardia

How would you treat side effects from non-depolarizing neuromuscular nicotinic blockers?

Give neostigmine (acetylcholinesterase inhibitor) to inc ACh levels and counteract N block




(side effects of non-dep neuromuscular nicotinic blocker = bronchospasm, hypotension, tachycardia

What is succinyl choline, what is it used for, and what is the MOA?

Depolarizing N blocker, used for paralysis for Sx, to facilitate intubation, and endoscopic procedures. MOA = quickly and intensely activates Nicotinic receptors on skeletal muscle (SUPER ACh) so muscle stays depolarized (contracted)




Muscle fxn only remains once drug wears off, can't reverse it

What are some side effects of succinyl choline?

MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA d/t DDI w/Halothene (common anesthesia)


*rare but fatal


Also, genetic def in plasma cholinesterase leads to prolonged paralysis

What are signs and symptoms of malignant hyperthermia?

Intense muscle contractions, very high fever, death from ventilatory failure, hyperkalemia = cardiac arrhythmia

What are drugs that end in STIGMINE classified as?

Cholinergic drug; reversible ACHE E inhibitors

What are drugs that end in crurium and onium classified as?

Cholinergic drugs, nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker ('N' agonist)

What are the ANTI muscarinic drugs (i.e. drugs that are only selective for 'M' receptors and cause sympathetics to take over)?
