Neostigmine is a parasympathomimetic, specifically, a reversible cholinesterase inhibitor. By interfering with the breakdown of acetylcholine, neostigmine indirectly stimulates both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors.

Clinical Uses

---

It is used to improve muscle tone in people with myasthenia gravis and routinely in anesthesia at the end of an operation to reverse the effects of non-depolarising muscle relaxants such as vecuronium.

It can also be used for urinary retention resulting from general anaesthetia and to treat curariform drug toxicity.
