This document discusses parasympathomimetic drugs, also known as cholinergic drugs, which mimic the action of acetylcholine in the body. It describes two types of cholinergic drugs: direct-acting drugs that stimulate cholinergic receptors, and indirect-acting drugs that inhibit the acetylcholinesterase enzyme and increase acetylcholine levels. The document provides details on the classification, structure-activity relationships, mechanisms of action, effects, and examples of both types of cholinergic drugs.
