Drugs in Physostigmine Injection
The term "Physostigmine Injection" designates a specific injectable drug formulation rather than an established broad therapeutic class, with its active ingredient belonging to the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor class.
Acting as a reversible anticholinesterase that contains a tertiary amine, it crosses the blood-brain barrier to inhibit the breakdown of acetylcholine, thereby increasing neurotransmitter concentrations in both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Clinically, it serves as an antidote primarily utilized in emergency toxicology and critical care settings to reverse acute anticholinergic toxicity caused by clinical or toxic overdoses of anticholinergic agents.
