Acetylcholine (ACh) is an essential neurotransmitter in the peripheral and central nervous systems.
It has an important role in transmission of nerve impulses across synapses and neuromuscular junctions.
The neuromuscular junction releases acetylcholine, which attaches to nicotinic receptors on skeletal muscle fibers.
It is released from preganglionic and postganglionic parasympathetic fibers.

Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: Satisfactory and well-controlled studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: No evidence shown of risk to the fetus found in animal reproduction studies, and there are not enough studies on pregnant women
Category C: Adverse effects on the fetus found with evidence in animal reproduction studies and no adequate evidence for a result in humans must take care of potential risks in pregnant women
Category D: There is adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
Acetylcholine acts at nicotinic receptors in sympathetic ganglia.
The enzyme choline acetyltransferase in nerve terminals produces this cholinergic neurotransmitter from choline and acetyl-CoA. The enzyme choline acetyltransferase in nerve terminals produces this cholinergic neurotransmitter from choline and acetyl-CoA.
The autonomic ganglia, the adrenal medulla, and the neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles all contain ligand-gated ion channels called nicotinic receptors.
For Ophthalmic:
Prior to irrigating the eye, attach the filter. Before or after fastening one or more sutures, gently inject into the anterior chamber, tangential to the pupil border and parallel to the iris face.
Acetylcholine should only be administered following lens delivery in cataract surgery.
Patient information leaflet
Generic Name: acetylcholine
Why do we use acetylcholine?
Acetylcholine is used in miosis during ocular surgery.
It is used in cataract surgery, penetrating keratoplasty, iridectomy, and other anterior segment surgeries where quick miosis may be necessary to achieve iris miosis within seconds after lens administration.
