Ganglionic Stimulants

Medical Definition: Agents that mimic neural transmission by stimulation of the nicotinic receptors on postganglionic autonomic neurons. Drugs that indirectly augment ganglionic transmission by increasing the release or slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine or by non-nicotinic effects on postganglionic neurons are not included here nor are the nonspecific cholinergic agonists.
Guide Notes: GEN or unspecified; prefer specifics; consider also GANGLIA /drug eff
Previously Indexed: Autonomic Agents (1966-1970)
