Additional Information for Methacholine Chloride
Methacholine Chloride is a medication that belongs to the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies. It is a synthetic choline ester that acts as a muscarinic receptor agonist. Methacholine Chloride is primarily used as a bronchial challenge agent in the diagnosis of bronchial hyperresponsiveness, which is a characteristic feature of asthma. It is administered via inhalation to assess the airway responsiveness in patients suspected of having asthma. Methacholine Chloride works by stimulating the smooth muscles in the airways, causing them to contract and narrow. The degree of airway constriction is measured to determine the presence and severity of bronchial hyperresponsiveness. It is important to note that Methacholine Chloride should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as it can cause bronchospasm and other adverse effects.
