Cholinomimetic Agents

Cholinomimetic drugs (cholinomimetic, cholinergic drug) are drugs that stimulate the transmission of excitation in cholinergic synapses. They are used to treat various diseases associated with impaired transmission of nerve impulses in the cholinergic system.

Cholinomimetics are substances that have the ability to stimulate cholinergic receptors and increase their sensitivity to acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter in cholinergic nerve endings. This leads to an increase in the amount of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft and increased transmission of excitation.

One of the most well-known cholinomimics is acetylcysteine, which is used to treat bronchial asthma and other respiratory diseases. It stimulates acetylcholine receptors and improves bronchial function. Cholinomimics are also used to treat glaucoma, Alzheimer's disease, parkinsonism and other neurological diseases.

When using cholinomimetic drugs, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of developing side effects, such as tachycardia, tremor, hyperthermia and others. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is necessary to consult a doctor and undergo an examination.

Cholinomimetics are a group of substances that stimulate the functioning of nerves and muscles. They are widely used in medicine to treat various diseases related to the nervous system and muscle activity. In this article we will look at the main representatives of this class of drugs.
