Carbachol

Uses

Carbachol is used in the treatment of glaucoma.

How it Works

How Carbachol works Carbachol is a cholinergic agonist that facilitates the drainage of excess aqueous humor (fluid in the eye), thereby reducing elevated intraocular pressure. Additionally, it helps counteract the effects of medications that dilate the pupil.

Expert Advice

  • Carbachol is administered as an injection by a physician in a clinical setting only.
  • This medication may cause blurred vision.
  • Avoid driving or engaging in activities that require focus until you understand how it affects you.
  • If you wear contact lenses, consult your doctor regarding when you can wear or use them again.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
