QUICK LINKS

Pilocarpine nitrate salt activates a specific type of receptor called muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, which are found in various tissues including the eye, salivary glands, and smooth muscle. When pilocarpine nitrate salt binds to these receptors, it stimulates the production of second messengers within the cell, leading to a cascade of intracellular events.This activation ultimately results in the contraction of smooth muscle and increased secretion of saliva and tears. In the eye, pilocarpine nitrate salt can constrict the pupil and improve the drainage of aqueous humor.
