What is difference between sympathomimetic and anticholinergic?
Sympathomimetic drugs mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, while anticholinergic drugs block the action of the parasympathetic nervous system, resulting in decreased secretions and relaxation of smooth muscle. Sympathomimetics typically work by stimulating adrenergic receptors, while anticholinergics work by blocking acetylcholine receptors.

What gland do sympathomimetic medications stimulate?
It does not stimulate a gland, instead, it acts on the post-ganglionic sympathetic nervous system by causing it to release the norepinephrine stored in the pre-synaptic bulbs. Glands most often refer to hormones in the body, while sympathomimetics have an effect involving neurotransmitters and the nervous system. However, there are some cases where hormones can act as neurotransmitters, etc. I hope this helps you.
