What are the Side Effects of Cholinergic Agonists? | Pharmacology Mnemonic

Cholinergic agonists are drugs that mimic the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The parasympathetic nervous system, predominantly uses acetylcholine as its principal neurotransmitter to control different organ and gland functions, including digestion, defecation, lacrimation, salivation, and urination.
Types of Cholinergic Agonists
Direct-acting cholinergic agonists - directly bind to cholinergic receptors. Examples of which are Acetylcholine, Bethanechol, Methacholine and Pilocarpine
Indirect-acting cholinergic agonists - increase the availability of acetylcholine at the cholinergic receptors by inhibiting the hydrolysis of Acetylcholine by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Examples of which are Neostigmine, Edrophonium, Pyridostigmine, Physostigmine, Donepezil and Malathion.
