Homatropine (Equipin, Isopto Homatropine) is an anticholinergic medication that is an antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and thus the parasympathetic nervous system. It is used in eye drops as a cycloplegic (to temporarily paralyze accommodation ), and as a mydriatic (to dilate the pupil ).
Homatropine methylbromide ( INN; also known as methylhomatropine bromide) is a quaternary ammonium salt of methylhomatropine. It is a peripherally acting anticholinergic medication that inhibits muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and thus the parasympathetic nervous system. It does not cross the blood–brain barrier.
[1] [2] It contains hydrocodone, as the bitartrate, an opioid agonist; and homatropine, as the methylbromide, a muscarinic antagonist. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is taken by mouth . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Hydrocodone plus homatropine (Hycodan) in the form of small tablets for coughing and especially neuropathic moderate pain (the homatropine, an anticholinergic, is useful in both of those cases and is a deterrent to intentional overdose) was more widely used than Dicodid and was labelled as a cough medicine in the United States whilst Vicodin ...

Parasympathomimetic drug. A parasympathomimetic drug, sometimes called a cholinomimetic drug[ 1] or cholinergic receptor stimulating agent, [ 2] is a substance that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). [ 3][ 2] These chemicals are also called cholinergic drugs because acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter used by the PSNS ...
