This document summarizes information about cholinergic receptors and anticholinergic drugs. It discusses the classification of cholinergic receptors into nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. It then describes natural and semisynthetic anticholinergic drugs that act on muscarinic receptors, including atropine and hyoscine. The document outlines the mechanisms, uses and side effects of various anticholinergic drugs for conditions like COPD, peptic ulcers, overactive bladder, and Parkinson's disease. It also discusses ganglionic blockers and neuromuscular blocking drugs that act on nicotinic receptors.
