Summary
Anticholinergic therapies are used to treat obstructive lung disease, such as nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, which play a role in the pathogenesis of obstructive lung disease. These agents are receptor subtype selective and have an improved ratio of wanted to unwanted effects, and have been used in the treatment of obstructive asthma, COPD, and other conditions. Additionally, cholinergic agonists have been used to treat obstructive asthma, and muscarinic agonists have been used to treat obstructive bronchitis.
