2. Miotics, Direct Acting & Cholinesterase Inhibitor
Answer: Miotics drug which causes constriction of the pupil of the eye. The direct acting drugs pilocarpine is used in the strength of 0.25% to 10%. The mechanisim of action involved i.e. Pilocarpine reduces the intraocular pressure by increasing the aqueous flow which increases contraction of the longitudinal fibres of ciliary muscle. Pilocarpine is frequently combined with physostigmine in resistant cases of glaucoma. The cholinesterase inhibitors work by inactivating enzyme and as a result acetylcholine is freely permitted to exert its effects.

State the rationales for administering a cholinesterase inhibitor to a patient who has been intentionally paralyzed (e.g., for surgery) with a neuromuscular blocking drug. State which class of neuromuscular blockers causes effects that can be reversed by the cholinesterase inhibitor. State the other main drug that is given as part of the postoperative reversal procedure and explain when and why it is given. Compare and contrast the cholinergic crisis and the myasthenic crisis in a hypothetical patient with myasthenia gravis,...
Describe the main effects of cholinesterase inhibitors on structures controlled by the autonomic nervous system and on skeletal muscle, and state the general mechanism by which these effects occur. Compare and contrast the effects of the cholinesterase inhibitors with those of bethanechol, which was described as the most representative muscarinic agonist (see Chapter 14). State the main clinical uses of cholinesterase inhibitors and precautions for and contraindications to their use. Recognize the meaning and importance of the term quaternary when...
