Cholinergic Drugs



Agents that influence the activity of
cholinergic receptors
Most mimic or block the actions of
acetylcholine.
Cholinesterase inhibitors

Indirectly prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine

Tips for Understanding the
Cholinergic Drugs



Know the receptors that the drug affects.
Know the normal responses to activation of
those receptors.
Know whether the drug in question increases
or decreases receptor activation.

Tips for Understanding the
Cholinergic Drugs

Bethanechol (prototype drug)






Selective agonist at muscarinic cholinergic receptors
Refer to Table 14-2.
Note the effects muscarinic receptors can produce.
Bethanechol activates muscarinic receptors (agonist).
Know which receptors a drug interacts with
(Table 14-2) and what those receptors do (Table 14-2).
You can predict the types of responses you might expect
from bethanechol.

Muscarinic Agonists and Antagonists

Principal structures affected by muscarinic
activation



Heart: bradycardia
Exocrine glands: increase sweating, salivation,
bronchial secretions, and secretion of gastric acid
Smooth muscles
• Contraction in lung (constriction)
• GI tract (increased tone/motility)
• Bladder (contraction of detrusor)
• Vascular (relaxation, vasodilation, hypotension)
• Eye (pupillary constriction and ciliary contraction)

Overactive Bladder



Also known as urgency incontinence,
detrusor instability, and sometimes “can’thold-it-anymore” incontinence
Four major symptoms: urinary urgency,
urinary frequency, nocturia, and urge
incontinence
Urge incontinence often results from
involuntary contractions of the bladder
detrusor.

17
Overactive Bladder




Affects up to one-third of Americans
Can develop at any age, but is most
predominant in elderly patients
Two modes of treatment: behavioral therapy
and drug therapy
If ineffective—percutaneous tibial nerve
stimulation (PTNS) may be tried.

Muscarinic Antagonists
(Anticholinergic Drugs)




Competitively block the actions of
acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors
Most muscarinic receptors on structures
innervated by parasympathetic nerves
Also known as parasympatholytic drugs,
antimuscarinic drugs, muscarinic blockers,
and anticholinergic drugs
Anticholinergic drugs: produce selective
blockade of muscarinic receptors—not all
cholinergic receptors

19
Muscarinic Antagonists
(Anticholinergic Drugs)


Certain drugs (antihistamines, tricyclic
antidepressants, phenothiazine
antipsychotics) have prominent
antimuscarinic actions.
Use with caution—or not at all—with patients
receiving other muscarinic antagonists.
