Physostigmine salicylate eye ointment
Function and Efficacy
This product can reversibly inhibit cholinesterase, so that acetylcholine released by cholinergic nerve endings is protected from hydrolysis by this enzyme, thus showing the muscarinic and nicotinic effects of acetylcholine. Local eye drops can shrink the pupil, reduce intraocular pressure, contract the ciliary muscle and cause accommodation spasm, etc. The effect is stronger and more lasting than pilocarpine, but it is more irritating. Because of the strong effect of contracting the ciliary muscle, it can cause eye pain and headache. This product loses its original effect on tissues de-innervated by parasympathetic nerves.
