Product Information
Name:Pilocarpine hydrochloride
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Pilocarpine hydrochloride is a cholinergic agonist, which is a derivative of the natural alkaloid pilocarpine. This compound is sourced from the leaves of the *Pilocarpus* species, particularly *Pilocarpus microphyllus* and *Pilocarpus jaborandi*. Its mode of action involves the stimulation of muscarinic receptors, primarily M3 receptors, which leads to increased secretion from exocrine glands and smooth muscle stimulation. In ophthalmology, pilocarpine hydrochloride is utilized to manage conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension by inducing miosis to improve aqueous humor outflow and reduce intraocular pressure. Additionally, it is applied in the treatment of xerostomia (dry mouth), particularly in patients suffering from Sjögren's syndrome or those undergoing radiation therapy, by enhancing salivary gland secretion. Its clinical applications underscore its importance as a tool in both ocular and salivary gland dysfunction management.
