pilocarpine and Chemical Dependence

pilocarpine has been researched along with Chemical Dependence in 6 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Administration of pilocarpine or physostigmine to rats treated with lithium chloride produced sustained limbic seizures, widespread brain damage, and increased concentrations of D-myo-inositol-1-phosphate (a metabolite of the phosphoinositides, lipids involved in membrane receptor function) in the brain."7.66Systemic cholinergic agents induce seizures and brain damage in lithium-treated rats.
