pilocarpine and Thyroid Neoplasms

pilocarpine has been researched along with Thyroid Neoplasms in 7 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Thyroid Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the THYROID GLAND.
