Additional Information for Carbachol
Carbachol is a medication that falls under the supply class of Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Carbachol is a cholinergic agonist, which means it acts on the cholinergic receptors in the body. It is primarily used in ophthalmology as an intraocular pressure-lowering agent. It is commonly used during eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery, to constrict the pupil and reduce intraocular pressure.
Carbachol works by stimulating the muscarinic receptors in the eye, leading to the contraction of the iris sphincter muscle and the ciliary muscle. This results in miosis (pupil constriction) and increased aqueous humor outflow, which helps to lower intraocular pressure.
In addition to its ophthalmic use, Carbachol may also be used in veterinary medicine for certain conditions. However, it is important to note that the use of Carbachol should always be under the guidance and prescription of a healthcare professional.
It is worth mentioning that Carbachol is a prescription medication and should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the dosage instructions and any other guidelines provided by your healthcare provider.
Please consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for more information about Carbachol, including its indications, contraindications, side effects, and proper usage.
