Mode of Action

Pilocarpine is a tertiary parasympathomimetic that directly stimulates cholinergic receptors in the eyes causing pupillary constriction, spasm of accommodation and a transient rise in IOP followed by a fall.

Aminoglycosides, clindamycin, colistin, cyclopropane and halogenated inhalational anaesthetics, quinine, procainamide, lithium and beta-blockers may reduce the efficacy of pilacarpine. Concurrent use with beta-blockers may lead to bradycardia. May prolong the action of suxamethonium. Potentially Fatal: Miotic and ocular hypotensive effect antagonised by anticholinergics. Conduction disturbances with beta-blockers.
