Tolterodine Tartrate (detrol) side effects

dry mouth, eyes, skin urinary retention weight gain dysuria constipation hypertension bronchitis vertigo dizziness

Indirect-acting cholinergic agonists

inhibit the action of enzyme cholinesterase permitting acetylcholine to persist and attach to the receptor do not act on receptors

Bethanechol chloride side effects

miosis blurred vision frequent urination salivation orthostatic hypotension bradycardia heart block cardiac arrest acute asthma attack

Anticholinergics

parasympatholytics drugs that inhibit the actions of acetylcholine by occupying the acetylcholine receptors decrease GI motility decrease in salivation dilation of pupils increase pulse rate decrease bladder contraction can acts as an antidote to the toxicity caused by cholinesterase inhibitors and organophosphate ingestion

Irreversible cholinesterase inhibitors

potent agents because of long lasting effects produce pupillary constriction

Reversible cholinesterase inhibitors

produce pupillary constriction in glaucoma increase muscle strength in patients with myasthenia graves Ex: physostigmine Caution: bradycardia, asthma peptic ulcers, hyperthyroidism contraindications; urinary or intestinal obstruction

Antiparkinson-anticholinergic drugs

selected decrease involuntary movement, tremors, muscle rigidity affect the CNS Ex: benztropine

Effects of cholinergic agonists

stimulate bladder and Gastrointestinal tone, constrict the pupils (miosis) increase neuromuscular transmission decrease HR and BP Increase salivation, GI, bronchial glandular secretions

stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system mimic acetylcholine
