DrugBank ID	DB03128
Name	Acetylcholine
Groups	investigational approved
Description	A neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine in vertebrates is the major transmitter at neuromuscular junctions, autonomic ganglia, parasympathetic effector junctions, a subset of sympathetic effector junctions, and at many sites in the central nervous system. It is generally not used as an administered drug because it is broken down very rapidly by cholinesterases, but it is useful in some ophthalmological applications.
Synonyms	Choline acetate O-Acetylcholine Acetylcholine chloride Acetylcholine ACh
Brand Names	Miogan Pws 20mg/vial Miochol E Acetylcholine Chloride Oph Soln Miochol-E Miochol E
Indication	Used to obtain miosis of the iris in seconds after delivery of the lens in cataract surgery, in penetrating keratoplasty, iridectomy and other anterior segment surgery where rapid miosis may be required.
