mecamylamine and Chronic Motor and Vocal Tic Disorder

mecamylamine has been researched along with Chronic Motor and Vocal Tic Disorder in 8 studies

Mecamylamine: A nicotinic antagonist that is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Mecamylamine has been used as a ganglionic blocker in treating hypertension, but, like most ganglionic blockers, is more often used now as a research tool.
