  2. Atropine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropine

    Topical atropine is used as a cycloplegic, to temporarily paralyze the accommodation reflex, and as a mydriatic, to dilate the pupils. [15] Atropine degrades slowly, typically wearing off in 7 to 14 days, so it is generally used as a therapeutic mydriatic, whereas tropicamide (a shorter-acting cholinergic antagonist) or phenylephrine (an α-adrenergic agonist) is preferred as an aid to ...

  3. Tropicamide - Wikipedia

    Tropicamide, sold under the brand name Mydriacyl among others, is a medication used to dilate the pupil and help with examination of the eye. [3] Specifically it is used to help examine the back of the eye. [4] It is applied as eye drops. [3] Effects occur within 40 minutes and last for up to a day.

  4. Cyclopentolate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopentolate

    Cyclopentolate is a muscarinic antagonist. [2] It is commonly used as an eye drop during pediatric eye examinations to dilate the eye ( mydriatic) and prevent the eye from focusing/ accommodating ( cycloplegic ). Cyclopentolate [citation needed] or atropine can also be administered to reverse muscarinic and central nervous system effects of ...

  5. Anticholinergic - Wikipedia

    Anticholinergic. Anticholinergics ( anticholinergic agents) are substances that block the action of the acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter at synapses in the central and peripheral nervous system. [ 1][ 2] These agents inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system by selectively blocking the binding of ACh to its receptor in nerve cells.

  8. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholinesterase_inhibitor

    Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors ( AChEIs) also often called cholinesterase inhibitors, [1] inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase from breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetate, [2] thereby increasing both the level and duration of action of acetylcholine in the central nervous system, autonomic ganglia and ...

  9. Physostigmine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physostigmine

    Physostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, can be used to treat glaucoma and delayed gastric emptying.Because it enhances the transmission of acetylcholine signals in the brain and can cross the blood–brain barrier, physostigmine salicylate is used to treat anticholinergic poisoning (that is, poisoning by substances that interfere with the transmission of acetylcholine signaling, such ...
