M-cholinergic drugs are drugs that increase the activity of m-cholinergic receptors in the body. These drugs are used to treat various diseases associated with dysfunction of the m-cholinergic system.
M-choline receptors are part of the human nervous system; they are located in various organs and tissues. When these receptors are activated, they cause muscle contraction, increased glandular secretions, improved blood flow, and other physiological effects.
In the treatment of various diseases, m-cholinergic drugs are used, such as atropine, scopolamine, metacin, etc. They block m-cholinergic receptors, which leads to a decrease in the activity of this system and improvement of the functions of organs and tissues.
For example, atropine is used to reduce the secretion of glands in the gastrointestinal tract in the treatment of peptic ulcers and other stomach diseases. Metacin is used to relax the bronchi in bronchial asthma and other diseases of the respiratory system.
However, m-cholinergic drugs can cause side effects, such as dry mouth, difficulty breathing, decreased heart rate, etc. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is necessary to conduct an examination and determine the dose of the drug in accordance with the individual characteristics of the patient.
In general, m-cholinergic drugs are an important tool in the treatment of various diseases. However, their use must be strictly controlled and carried out under the supervision of a physician.
