What is cholinergic and anti cholinergic drugs?
Cholinergic drugs are used for urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, glaucoma. Cholinergic drugs act like the neurotransmitter ACh (acetylcholine). Anti Cholinergic (also called Cholinergic blocking) drugs block the action of the ACh. Anti Cholinergic drugs are used foe pylorospasm & peptic ulcers, bladder overactivity, parkinson's disease

What effects do cholinergic drugs produce?
Cholinergic drugs produce the same effects as acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the most common neurohormone of the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the every day work of the body.
How do indirect choligenic work?
Indirect cholinergic drugs work by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for breaking down acetylcholine in the body. By inhibiting this enzyme, indirect cholinergic drugs increase the levels of acetylcholine available in the nervous system, leading to prolonged cholinergic effects. This can be useful in conditions such as myasthenia gravis or Alzheimer's disease.
