Pharmacology

Indication:	Primarily used in the treatment of glaucoma, but is also used during ophthalmic surgery.
Pharmacology:	Carbachol is a potent cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) agent which produces constriction of the iris and ciliary body resulting in reduction in intraocular pressure. The exact mechanism by which carbachol lowers intraocular pressure is not precisely known. In the cat and rat, carbachol is well-known for its ability to induce rapid eye movement (RE... show more » Carbachol is a potent cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) agent which produces constriction of the iris and ciliary body resulting in reduction in intraocular pressure. The exact mechanism by which carbachol lowers intraocular pressure is not precisely known. In the cat and rat, carbachol is well-known for its ability to induce rapid eye movement (REM) sleep when microinjected into the pontine reticular formation. Carbachol elicits this REM sleep-like state via activation of postsynaptic muscarinic cholinergic receptors (mAChRs). show less «
Mechanism of Action:	Carbachol is a parasympathomimetic that stimulates both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. In topical ocular and intraocular administration its principal effects are miosis and increased aqueous humour outflow.
Absorption:	Not well absorbed in the gastro-intestinal tract, and does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
Toxicity:	Oral, mouse: LD₅₀ = 15 mg/kg; Oral, rat: LD₅₀ = 40 mg/kg.
Affected organisms:	Humans and other mammals

Interactions

Drug interaction:

The acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, Tacrine, may increase the cholinergic effects of Carbachol, a cholinergic agonist. Monitor for increased cholinergic effects.

Targets

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2

Neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha-2
