Description

Pilocarpine hydrochloride is a cholinergic drug that is used to treat eye disorders. It is a potent and selective agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which are found in the brain, peripheral nervous system, and other tissues. Pilocarpine hydrochloride has been shown to be an effective treatment for both open-angle glaucoma and closed-angle glaucoma. Pilocarpine hydrochloride has also been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory agent in experimental models by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. The ability of pilocarpine hydrochloride to penetrate the blood-brain barrier may be due to its interaction with benzalkonium chloride, which can increase water permeability.
