Autonomic drugs

Japanese: 自律神経薬 - じりつしんけいやく(英語表記)autonomic drugs
Autonomic drugs
Drugs that act on the autonomic nervous system, i.e. autonomic ganglia and the subsequent sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic fibers and their receptors, to excite or inhibit them. They are subdivided according to the site and quality of action, but for convenience they are broadly divided into sympathetic stimulants and depressants, and parasympathetic stimulants and depressants. They are also divided into cholinergic and adrenergic according to the chemical classification of nerve fibers. Cholinergic stimulants include acetylcholine, muscarine, guanidine, and physostigmine, while depressants include atropine and scopolamine. Adrenergic stimulants include adrenaline, noradrenaline, ephedrine, and pilocarpine, while depressants include ergotoxine, ergotamine, dibenamine, reserpine, propranolol, guanidine, methyldopa, and hydroxydopamine.
