The autonomic pharmacology program focuses on the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PSNS) nervous systems, emphasizing their essential roles in regulating involuntary reactions across multiple organ systems. This activity explores how pathological conditions can disrupt the balance between the SNS and PSNS, leading to overactivity in one branch and inhibition in the other. These imbalances cause a range of clinical issues, from mild symptoms to severe outcomes such as cardiovascular collapse.This activity highlights the classification of drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) within autonomic pharmacology, including cholinomimetics or cholinesterase antagonists, anticholinergics, adrenoreceptor agonists or sympathomimetics, and adrenoreceptor antagonists, which participants learn about in detail. This activity covers the indications, mechanisms of action, adverse effects, contraindications, toxicology, and monitoring required to use these drugs effectively. This activity enhances the understanding of interprofessional healthcare providers of the pharmacological effects of drugs impacting the autonomic nervous system by providing a detailed examination of the pharmacology related to autonomic drugs. This activity also prepares the healthcare team to collaborate effectively in administering these medications with greater precision and efficacy, thereby enhancing therapeutic outcomes and ensuring personalized patient care and optimized health outcomes.
