Several medications impact acetylcholine levels and function. These include:
Cholinesterase Inhibitors: Used in treating Alzheimer's disease by preventing the breakdown of ACh, thereby increasing its levels. Anticholinergics: Block ACh receptors and are used to treat conditions like asthma and overactive bladder. Neuromuscular Blocking Agents: Used in anesthesia to induce muscle relaxation by blocking ACh receptors at the neuromuscular junction.
