What effect does Pilocarpine have on the heart rate?
Pilocarpine lowers the heart rate.
Is pilocarpine an antagonist?
No, Pilocarpine is an agonist in how it effects heart rate activity (it increases HR).
What is the effect of pilocarpine on heart rate?
Pilocarpine stimulates the release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic neurons. Therefore, it stimulates the effect of vagal stimulation on the heart.
Will pilocarpine reverse effect of atropine?
yes
What is the effect of pilocarpine on intestine?
pilocarpine as a muscuranic agonist, increases tone and motility of intestinal muscles and of urinary tract and billiary duct's smooth muscles.
How does pilocarpine lower intraocular pressure?

What pills to take to ease sjogrens syndrome symptoms?
Pilocarpine can help.
How does pilocarpine work?
Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agonist that stimulates muscarinic receptors in the eye, leading to miosis (pupillary constriction) and increased aqueous humor outflow, lowering intraocular pressure. This mechanism of action is beneficial in treating conditions like glaucoma.
A drug called pilocarpine is prescribed by ophthalmologists to be dropped in the eye to control what condition?
Acute angle closure glaucoma.
How long does Pilocarpine last ie what is it half-life?
The average half-life of Pilocarpine is around 1.7 hours. However, its duration of action can vary based on the formulation and dosage used, typically lasting around 4-6 hours for eye drops and 6-8 hours for oral formulations.
Is pilocarpine an antagonist or an agonist?
Pilocarpine is actually a Muscarinic cholinergic receptor (mAChR) agonist. It works on the Parasypathetic nervous system; therefore, it makes sense that the agonist working on the PNS would result in decreased heart rate. Atropine, in contrast, is an muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist and will lead to increased heart rate due to the lowered effect of the parasympathetic system on the heart.
What drug is used for Sjogren's syndrome?
Patients may also be given such drugs as pilocarpine (Salagen) or cevimeline (Evoxac) to increase saliva and tear secretions.
