Carbachol, also known as carbamylcholine, acts as an acetylcholine receptor agonist. It is a dual-action parasympathomimetic that produces direct motor endplate stimulation, as well as an indirect parasympathomimetic effect by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. It stimulates both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors.
What is carbachol used for?
Miostat (carbachol intraocular solution) is a cholinergic agent that reduces the pressure in the eye by increasing the amount of fluid that drains from the eye and is used to treat glaucoma by lowering the pressure inside the eye.
How does carbachol reduce intraocular pressure?
Carbamoylcholine is a parasympathomimetic that acts as an agonist of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Intraocular administration leads to miosis and decreases intraocular pressure via increased aqueous humour outflow.
